What you say is accurate, but not entirely.
This year (for the first time) they are allowed up to 25 players on their roster. And they don't have 25 (either 22 or 23 currently, not sure which). If they wanted to, they could call up other players. Parekh for sure, because he was on the pre-tournament roster, not sure about Yakemchuk or Senneke.
So yes, Mynio was the spare, but they could have gone outside of that if they wanted. For instance, if they wanted a PP quarterback, they had one available.
