Washington released Cracraft (undisclosed) from its injured reserve list with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Cracraft was going to have to sit out the whole 2026 campaign after being placed on IR Tuesday, but he'll now become a free agent instead. In two games with the Commanders in 2025, he played a combined seven snaps on offense and did not draw any targets.

Commanders' River Cracraft: Elevated for Sunday
The Commanders elevated Cracraft from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Cracraft has been elevated for consecutive weeks, finishing Christmas Day's loss against the Cowboys with just one snap on the special-teams unit. With Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore all healthy and active, Cracraft is likely in line to see the same minimal special-teams snap share in Sunday's game.

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

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

River Cracraft: Waived by Washington
The Commanders cut Cracraft from the practice squad Tuesday.
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 group now healthy, the team seems to no longer require the additional depth and waived 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.

Cracraft signed with Washington on Aug. 14 and failed 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.

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

River Cracraft: Dropped by Seattle
Cracraft was released by the Seahawks on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Cracraft -- who was let go with a non-football injury designation -- 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 will move in a different direction, following Monday's transaction. Cracraft spent the last three seasons in Miami, catching 25 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns across 29 regular-season contests.

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

Dolphins' River Cracraft: 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.
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.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Surprise inactive
Cracraft (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
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, which makes his status as a healthy scratch a surprise. Dee Eskridge will instead take the field.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Back in action Monday
Cracraft (shoulder) is active for Monday night's game against the Rams.
Cracraft thus is 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 Week 10 are Odell Beckham and Malik Washington.

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

Dolphins' River Cracraft: 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 reports.
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.
