It's the IR.

Once you pare down to your in-season roster, you don't have a rule of 51 in place any longer. You simply count the cap of the 53 guys on your roster.

Buzbee and Daniels, who are on IR, are included in CC's cap figures, that's why it appears we have 55 active players on CC's sheet instead of 53. So we count the cap figures of the 53 guys on the active roster, and the cap figures for anybody who's out on the IR.
