I’m kinda of the opinion that him being one of the few to wrestle last weekend indicates he’s probably redshirting.
I definitely don’t have a plan, but I wonder if Starocci stays 174 (and we see the Starocci/KOT match after all).
Much of the logjam talk seems to be focused on the middle weights, but they can sort those out with redshirts if they want. If Starocci stays at 174, then they can have Barr at 184 and Cochran at 197, neither of which have redshirts available (unless they pull out a medical like they may be doing with Nagao).
