Agree - No real need to flag this - just tell the player to move inside the numbers until the RFP.

Last year in a playoff game I had this after a TO and I was preventative officiating my tail off to get the wideout inside the tick mark even though he was covered, and I did not toss the flag, but my preventative officiating got me in trouble as the corner demanded the flag and so did his coach behind me, even to the point he asked for a coach-referee conference and we had to "correct" my non-ruling.
