Here are players 52 through 53. They don't count towards the salary cap---at least not yet. Starting at 4 om ET on Wednesday, September 4th they will since at that time the Top 51 Rule will cease. At that point all 53 players on the active roster will count against the cap, along with players who have received Injury Settlements, player(s) on IR, player(s) on the PUP list, and players on the Practice Squad.
*****
Here are the roster designations for the following 13 players, of which 11 will count fully against the cap, as indicated below, and one (Will Hill) counting partially if he is added back on to the 53-man roster in week 5 after he is eligible to return from his 4-game suspension. The only player below who doesn't count at all against the cap is Ryan D'Imperio. None of these players will begin to count against the cap until the Top 51 Cap Rule ceases, as indicated above.
More roster moves are going to be made in the next couple of days. Andre Brown being added on to the IR list, but designated to return, is a strong possibility. If that happens, it won't be possible until Tuesday, September 3rd. The numbers listed above only reflect the changes from yesterday.
Keep in mind that Injury Settlements for players who are designated as being "Waived/Injured" aren't known yet. The cap numbers listed next to the names of those 8 players are going to be used to help calculate their injury settlement amounts along with the amount of weeks that the team doctor and player doctor agree on the player missing before he can be healthy enough to play again (most likely elsewhere). To learn more about how they work click on the article below:
Will Hill's salary ($480,000), which also happens to be his cap number, will only count on a prorated basis. If he return to the 53-man roster in week 5, then only 13/17ths of his contract--totaling $367,059--will count against the salary cap instead of the entire amount.
