It looks like Nikolai Tikhonov has been removed from the rotation completely, or am I missing something?

He was due to fly with Misurkin and Vande Hei as part of Expedition 51/52.

Yes, due to the reduction from three to two cosmonauts, Tikhonov has been removed from the Misurkin and Vande Hei crew. He may be reassigned to Expedition 57/58 (Soyuz MS-10), though that crew has yet to be announced.
