I think you need to do something like the second part to keep it fair if all 53 players are active. Otherwise, injuries become a huge issue since NFL doesn't have 10-day DL like MLB does. Imagine one team getting to use all 53 players whereas another only gets to use 50 because 3 are hurt for a couple weeks. By having the shorter IR-DTR rule, it would allow teams to treat players like MLB does DL and then promote/sign more players to fill in the weeks those hurt players are out.
