I think you must read intent. This situation may be only a coincidence that the player is moving to his position along with the substitutes. Do EVERYTHING you can to avoid throwing a flag such as verbally telling the end if he is on the line (or not) so that the defense can clearly hear you and be aware of the player. Then after the play is over, warn the coach of possible deception. This is a 15 yard penalty and would be a terrible call if the intent was read incorrectly.
