But to qualify to be an 'IR designated to return' player, he has to be on the 53 man roster at start of season. Once he is on the 53 roster, he would be placed on IR, with the chance to return after 8 weeks. Then they can go to practice squad or free agency to replace him while on he is on IR. Also teams can now use two players for this.

Is Barkley worth risking another player?

Isn't the team already going to risk Tate so that Core can be on the IR to return?

Personally, I think the healthy guys are worth more to the team than the injured ones, even if it means losing the injured ones for the whole season. Core and Barkley aren't worth it to me to lose Tate and another player. but maybe I'm overvaluing Tate and undervaluing Core or Barkley.
