Hines had the ball temporarily and was still on his feet when he lost the handle. JL covered it on the ground and handed it to the official.

Hines originally recovered it, but he dropped the ball being tackled which should count as a fumble (I believe). JL covered it up on the ground and he should have the 1 fumble recovery stat in his column. You can see this in the replays they showed.

I agree... when I made that initial post I was in a hurry and just looked at his stat line and forgot about the fumble recovery. FWIW official stats (which we know are wrong from time to time) credit Hines with the recovery.
