The op said that a time out was requested (and I'm assuming granted) So his being on the field wouldn't fall under this rule, but he is restricted to his teams huddle at the hash. I would think that he should have had to walk past atleast 3 officials ( R,U and line judge) to get to the other sideline. One of the 3 has to stop him and advise him to return to his sideline. Then at that point you could have some type of unsportsmanlike penality.
