I saw this happen on a bluff and runner on first. Fed rules.
Regardless of where this dropped ball goes it's live and in play, whether his foot has hit the ground or not, he's gotta "step back off the rubber," Not step back off the rubber and contact the ground, any arm actions while he's making that step are fine and he' s off the rubber.
