Not a bad question.
Wrong place for it, though.
NFL Rule 8, Article 3 (b): "An eligible receiver becomes ineligible if he goes out of bounds (prior to or during a pass) and remains ineligible until an eligible receiver or any defensive player touches the pass."
If he's forced out illegally, he's eligible as soon as he returns inbounds.
But, again, wrong thread for the question.
PS - Amazon sells the Official Rules of the NFL if you're really interested.
