As long as he was within the numbers before he left the field, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't get within the numbers when he comes back on the field, unless ... there is some deception and he doesn't draw coverage. Then I would probably flag it as illegal participation (9-6-4d). Otherwise I don't think I'd flag it at all.

kentref,
Good point! I was looking at it as when he left the field he then wouldn't be considered a player any longer. My mistake.
