Not really. It gives them some wiggle room while Ryan is out, but he won't likely be out very long. When you're using LTIR, you don't accumulate the cap space for use later like you do with normal cap space. When the injured player returns, you need to become cap-compliant again.
Unless the player will be out for the rest of the season, you can't really bank on LTIR to acquire new players.
