Elevated for Week 17 The Commanders elevated Cracraft from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Impact It's the first time this season that the Commanders have elevated Cracraft to the active roster, and the veteran wide receiver will have an opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Cowboys on Christmas Day. Cracraft appeared in eight regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024 and logged seven catches (on nine targets) for 66 yards.

Back with Washington The Commanders signed Cracraft to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Washington placed Noah Brown (ribs) on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season, so Cracraft gives the team some more depth at wide receiver over the final three weeks. Cracraft hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Week 18 of last season with the Dolphins.

Waived by Washington The Commanders waived Cracraft from the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Cracraft was signed to the practice squad Nov. 11 as additional wide receiver depth due to the injuries to starters Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown, and Treylon Burks. With the room now healthy, the team seems to no longer require the additional depth, waiving the receiver in favor of a new safety in Chris Moore. Cracraft will now go on waivers and will become a free agent if he clears.

Signs with Washington Cracraft signed with the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact The veteran wideout spent two weeks with Washington over the summer but was cut ahead of Week 1. He'll provide experienced organizational depth for the Commanders.

Released by Washington Cracraft was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

Impact Cracraft signed with Washington on Aug. 14, failing to record any stats with the team during the preseason. The wide receiver played in eight regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2024, catching seven of nine targets for 66 yards, and he will likely find another suitor in the near future.

Signs with Washington Cracraft (undisclosed) signed with the Commanders on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cracraft was released with a non-football injury designation by the Seahawks in May, but he has subsequently recovered. The 30-year-old wide receiver has 53 games of regular-season experience under his belt but will be fighting an uphill battle to make Washington's 53-man roster.

Dropped by Seattle Cracraft was released by the Seahawks on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Cracraft signed with the Seahawks in late March and initially appeared to be one of the team's top depth options at wide receiver following the offseason departures of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. However, the team has since decided to move in a different direction. Cracraft spent the last three seasons in Miami, catching 25 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns across 29 regular-season contests.

Signs with Seattle The Seahawks signed Cracraft to a contract Friday.

Impact Cracraft joins Seattle's wide receiver corps after spending the last three seasons in Miami, in which span he never managed to pile up 150 receiving yards in a single year. He'll work to establish himself in a depth role with his new team, where plenty of offensive snaps figure to be up for grabs with Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling having replaced DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Season-best numbers in finale Cracraft secured all four of his targets for 38 yards during Miami's 32-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Cracraft logged his first game of the year with more than one catch during the Dolphins' regular-season finale. A significant shoulder injury forced him to begin the season on IR, but even after retaking the field, Cracraft managed just seven catches for 66 yards (on nine targets) across eight appearances. The veteran wideout is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Surprise inactive Cracraft (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Cracraft missed the first nine weeks of the season due to a shoulder injury, but he has since played a significant role on special teams and a depth role on offense. That makes his status as a healthy scratch a surprise, while Dee Eskridge will instead take the field.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Monday Cracraft (shoulder) is active for Monday night's game against the Rams.

Impact Cracraft is thus slated to make his regular-season debut Monday, but with Tyreek Hill (wrist) also active and available to start at wideout alongside Jaylen Waddle, Cracraft is in line to work in a complementary role. Also in the mix behind the top WR duo in Week 10 are Odell Beckham and Malik Washington.

Dolphins place right tackle Austin Jackson on injured reserve and activate receiver River Cracraft

The Miami Dolphins placed starting right tackle Austin Jackson on injured reserve with a knee injury and activated receiver River Cracraft

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • Associated Press

Activated off IR The Dolphins have activated Cracraft (shoulder) off IR ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams.

Impact Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network,Cracraft -- who practiced fully Thursday through Saturday -- is slated to make his regular-season debut Monday, following the transaction. It remains to be seen how much work he'll see in his looming return, but in any case, Cracraft provides the Dolphins with useful wideout depth with Tyreek Hill questionable to face Los Angeles due to a wrist injury.

Questionable for Monday Cracraft (shoulder) was a full practice participant Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel repor...

Impact Cracraft has practiced in full all week, and he could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game. He appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2023, during which he logged nine catches (on 12 targets) for 121 yards and one touchdown.

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be activated off IR Cracraft (shoulder) will not be activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Buffalo, David reports.

Impact Cracraft began the regular season on injured reserve due to an upper body injury he sustained during training camp in August. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, but seeing as he was a limited participant all week, the Dolphins will take the cautious route and keep the 30-year-old wideout on IR for at least another week. Cracraft's next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Rams on Monday, Nov. 11.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Sunday Cracraft (upper body) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Cracraft was limited in practice throughout the week, and despite his questionable designation, head coach Mike McDaniel suggested earlier Friday that he won't return for the Dolphins' Week 9 contest, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. If Cracraft is activated to Miami's active roster in time to play Sunday, he'll serve as a depth piece in the team's wide receiver room.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely won't return in Week 9 Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Friday that he's being "cautious" with Cracraft's (upper body) timeline, suggesting he likely won't be activated from injured reserve ahead...

Impact There was optimism that Cracraft would be able to return for Sunday's divisional matchup after he was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, but McDaniel's comments Friday indicate he's not expected to play. Cracraft's participation in practice throughout next week will likely be the best indication of whether he can return in Week 10, when the Dolphins play the Rams on Monday night.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to practice Cracraft (upper body) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cracraft has been on IR since Week 1 prep began, due to the injury he suffered during training camp. He'll now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be placed on the 53-man roster. Once healthy and active, he should compete with Odell Beckham for snaps at wide receiver, behind Tyreek Hill (foot) and Jaylen Waddle.

Starting year on IR The Dolphins placed Cracraft (upper body) on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return.

Impact Cracraft's placement on IR to begin the year rules him out for at least Miami's first four games, but he could be dealing with an injury that will require a longer rehab period. The Dolphins also moved Odell Beckham (undisclosed) to the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, so it looks like Braxton Berrios and rookie Malik Washington will open the year with extra opportunities on tap behind Tyreek Hill (hand) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed).
