Yes.
Putting a guy on IR free's up 50% of their cap space while their on IR< and 1 contract year. But if you want to reactivate them down the line you need to be under the cap and the roster limit.
That means if you have to cut a guy to get under either limit you do that to bring the player back. And a cap hit will be assessed.
I'll also note that if a guy returns to the field you are NOT forced to reactivate him after 4 weeks... it's optional.
