If they had IRed him after cut down, he would have to stay there a minimum of three weeks, which means he would not be eligible to play against Philly. Now, he's practicing, but out, so it was close. It was simply taking a chance he would be back by week 2 or 3 instead of just shelving him until Jacksonville. You can call that mismanagement, but what it really is, is judging with 20/20 hindsight.
