Do I think he should make it?  Yes.  Should he be a "lock?". No.

Irwin is a lock if the team considers him the immediate backup for Higgins and Chase on the outside.
The WR4 can usually get away with not playing (much) ST.
Otherwise, he needs to be a ST contributor.

If Iosivas continues leading these depth receivers in receptions and yardage in the preseason, you might be able to justify him being the immediate backup to Higgins and Chase, and thus allowing some other guy who is (far) more of a ST contributor to make the team over Irwin.
Morgan is who mainly comes to mind.

Right now, I feel like it's Irwin, Iosivas, and Jones as the depth guys. Morgan if keeping 7.
