My understanding is that the cap still counts when a player is on IR, but the team is allowed to exceed the cap by the amount of used for IR. Basically, makes it so the IR never hinders a team from hitting the floor, also allows teams who are trying to be near the cap minimum to exploit the crap out of guys on LTIR.
