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.

I agree. 

I wouldn't put someone on the 53 then IR him if he isn't a valuable contributor to the team. Do that for guys like Erickson, a known good backup qb, Dennard and on up the depth chart. Not for guys at the bottom beneath players like that.

I hope the Bengals don't go this route, unless they are sure they wont lose the player they will call up. I mean I guess if thats the case, they don't have to bring them off of IR if they dont want to, and that player will be around for next offseason. Or if no one else gets hurt and something happens, that player like Core or Barkley can be back for last half of season if need be too.
