Since I consider him to have never quit being a player, then, yes, after the RFP and after the snapper puts his hand(s) on the ball, he has encroached if he is on the wrong side of or in the NZ(7-1-6). As already mentioned, it is a tough call, but I suppose that is the price he pays for leaving the field when he shouldn't have.
