There are two places in the book that talk about a player coming back into the game after injury: the blood rule and the signs of concussion rule. Both talk about allowing such players to come back into the game under the reentry rule if the issue causing them to leave has been resolved. Nothing here or anywhere else in NFHS book that I can find says that a player leaving game causing team to to go short can not come back but seems that it would be a reentry.
Note ASA specifically says a player leaving and causing a team to go short cannot come back in that game; but this language is missing in NFHS. If it's not illegal it must be legal, right?
