Dez' right arm is behind the ball.
Note where the laces are. They are visible but clearly on the turf.
When Dez used his left arm to bring the possession back the laces moved up because Dez swiped at the ball.
Thus in the video you see the laces go nearly out of sight and then "reappear."
Because as he gained control he rotated the ball from bottom to top toward him.
Theogt is correct about this.
