Nope any kick if no attempt to gain possession is being made. Just because it stops rolling does not mean R cannot still come and try to pick it up and advance it.
As it is laying there I would be looking around to see if someone is running at the ball to possibly try and grab it. If someone is I would keep it live ball for a couple more seconds. If no one is running at it, then 2 or 3 seconds is enough to rule it dead.
