Out of curiosity, do these LTIR moves need to be made prior to the trade deadline? I feel like that may be important for me to figure out in future seasons.

Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR)
After a season starts, a team can place one player on LTIR. Players on LTIR will have their salaries removed from the teams cap hit. To be eligible for LTIR a player must be carded, have a fortitude rating of 2 or less and he cannot have been used for any games in the current season. Once on LTIR the player will remain there for the remainder of the season. He will automatically be removed from LTIR at the end of the season.
It is important to note the timing of when a player can be placed on LTIR as "after the season starts" is significantly different than "after free agency is completed". The use of LTIR is specifically timed this way to avoid a team with a large salaried player who is injured to use that cap savings to land another large salaried player that they normally would not have the cap for. This means that teams need to become cap compliant without using LTIR as a tool to do so.

Don’t you quote the rulebook to me!
In all seriousness, I didn’t even think to look there because it never seems to have the answers to any of my other questions. I shall henceforth check the rulebook.
