River Cracraft - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Expected to miss significant time Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Cracraft (upper body) will be out for "sometime for sure" but said that his injury "doesn't appear to be season ending," Tom D'Angelo of the Pa...

Impact Cracraft has spent training camp making a case for himself as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed), especially with Odell Beckham (undisclosed) still not practicing, but his status for Week 1 now looks up-in-the-air. He was injured during Saturday's preseason game against Washington, while catching a 13-yard touchdown pass thrown by Tua Tagovailoa. As long as Cracraft is sidelined, depth players like rookie Malik Washington and Erik Ezukanma will benefit from additional opportunities.

Injured during practice Cracraft sustained an upper-body injury during practice Monday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact Specifics of Cracrafts injury are unknown, but it's believed the injury is significant enough that he's already expected to miss regular season time, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. The Washington State product is now the fourth wide receiver dealing with an injury during camp for the Dolphins with Braxton Berrios, Odell Beckham and Jaylen Waddle all recovering from undisclosed injuries.

Cleared from injury report Cracraft (shoulder) is no longer on the Dolphins' injury report Thursday.

Impact Cracraft was returned to the 53-man roster Tuesday, as his 21-day window to practice with the team after being designated to return from injured reserve was near a close. While in that 21-day window, the 33-year-old had been practicing in a limited fashion; however, it now appears he'll be ready to return to the field Sunday against the Raiders. With Braxton Berrios (hamstring) and Chase Claypool (knee) both questionable for the game, Cracraft could step into an increased role in his first action since Week 3.
