The player remains a player. No substitute replaced him, so he cannot he bench personnel by rule. He didn’t leave the floor during a live ball, so his action is not a violation for leaving the floor.
I’ve never liked the interpretation, but under NFHS rules the player may re-enter without penalty as long as he returns without advantage.
