What do you mean by "count as part of an NFL Roster"?
Can they tell their friends and family they are on a roster? Sure. They don't count against the 53 and their time on the PS doesn't count as time on a roster. I wouldn't bet against MB when it comes to football.

I have no horse in this race but I think it is clear being on the practice squad does not mean one is on the NFL roster. This is from ESPN last year and I think it is instructive:
Quote:"New CBA rule: Additionally, according to the new CBA, a team can carry up to 55 players on its roster during the week -- up from 53 in past years -- by elevating one or two players from its practice squad before 4 p.m. ET on the day before that team's game. This will allow teams a larger pool from which to select their 47 or 48 game-day active players. Any player elevated from the practice squad for this purpose will immediately revert to his team's practice squad on the day after the game.Frankly, I think the key sentence is "If a player has already been elevated twice under this rule, and the team wants to add him to the roster, it must terminate his practice-squad contract and sign him to an NFL contract, as has been the case with practice-squad players in years past." Different contracts, different status. Just spent 15 minutes researching this so I can avoid my actual work.

For the record as well, Dozier has 8 years of experience and was among the veterans released, not among the younger players waived. At least that is the difference I see, all the released have over 5 years experience, the waived are under 5.
