It doesn't matter where Dez's arm was. The ball was moving and it was touching the ground. And there's no physical way that Dez's right hand was gripping the ball.

He only touched one foot after he had possession.
I think the ball moved.. not sure if its clear enough to overturn since he's got his hand and his arm on the ball. Apparently the booth didn't think it could be overturned either.

Watch the Witten catch frame by frame and you'll see him with two hands on the ball with his right foot down, then the left in bounds and the right out of bounds. It was clearly worth looking at, especially given the circumstance.
