Why not just apply the existing rule for fumbles into the endzone, ie ball placed at the point of fumble. (Remember the play that caused this rule? It used to be a TD if the offense recovered the fumble in the endzone. It still is if the fumbler recovers it himself.)

The rule of the player who first fumbled must recover only applies in the last two minutes of each half (or maybe just the end of the game).
