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

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Injured during practice
Cracraft sustained an upper-body injury during practice Monday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Specifics of Cracraft's injury are unknown, but it's believed to be 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 Dolphins wide receiver dealing with an injury during camp, with Braxton Berrios, Odell Beckham and Jaylen Waddle also all on the mend.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Expected to miss significant time
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Cracraft (upper body) will be out for "sometime for sure" but added that his injury "doesn't appear to be season-ending," Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post reports.
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. Cracraft 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 should benefit from additional opportunities.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Staying in Miami
The Dolphins re-signed Cracraft on Wednesday.
Cracraft has spent the past two seasons with the Dolphins after working his way up from the practice squad early in the 2022 campaign. While the six-foot wideout had some notable single-game performances in the first two games of the 2022 regular season, he's totaled just 18 catches for 223 yards and three touchdowns over the past two years. He's also regularly dealt with injuries which have limited him to just 21 appearances over that span. Expect Cracraft to once again compete with Erik Ezukanma for a role behind fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Logs nine catches in 2023
Cracraft secured nine of 12 targets for 121 yards and one touchdown across 10 appearances during the 2023 season.
Cracraft's depth role on offense with the Dolphins actually allowed him to set career-high marks across the board on offense, though his six special-teams snaps were a career low. Having played two consecutive seasons on one-year deals with Miami, Cracraft's familiarity with coach Mike McDaniel's offensive system means it could make sense for the Dolphins to re-sign him again in free agency. In any case, he stands to handle his usual depth role during Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Chiefs.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Inactive Sunday
Cracraft is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
With Cracraft a healthy scratch Sunday, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are in line to lead Miami's Week 16 WR corps, with Cedrick Wilson, Braxton Berrios, Robbie Chosen and Chase Claypool also on hand to mix in. In eight games thus far, Cracraft has recorded an 8/103/1 receiving line on 10 targets.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Reclaims depth role at receiver
Cracraft played 24 of the Dolphins' 61 snaps on offense and recorded two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's 45-15 win over the Commanders.
Cracraft made his second appearance for Miami since being activated from injured reserve Nov. 14 after a seven-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The 29-year-old is valued for his skills as a blocker when he's on the field, but he doesn't project to see much involvement as a pass catcher while fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are both available.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Cleared from injury report
Cracraft (shoulder) isn't listed on the Dolphins' Week 11 injury report.
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 nearing an end. While practicing within that 21-day window, the wideout never managed more than limited participation, but he's apparently returned to full activity coming out of the Dolphins' Week 10 bye. With Braxton Berrios (hamstring) and Chase Claypool (knee) both uncertain to play Sunday against the Raiders, Cracraft could immediately step in as Miami's No. 3 or 4 receiver. Cracraft was valued mostly for his skills as a blocker, but he also contributed a 6-87-1 receiving line on eight targets over his first three games before landing on IR.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Returns from IR
The Dolphins activated Cracraft (shoulder) from injured reserve Tuesday.
Since Cracraft was designated for return from IR on Oct. 25, his 21-day evaluation window was coming to a close, prompting Miami to add him back to the 53-man roster. Before the Dolphins began their Week 10 bye, Cracraft had been listed as a limited participant in each of the team's Week 8 and 9 practices, an indication that he may not yet be fully recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered in late September. Miami still has six other receivers on the roster, so the team can afford to take a cautious approach with him and hold him out this Sunday against the Raiders if there's any indication he's not 100 percent.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Not activated for Week 9
Cracraft (shoulder) was downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after the Dolphins didn't activate him from injured reserve Saturday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Cracraft was designated for return from IR on Oct. 25 and took part in his second straight week of practices with the Dolphins, though he was nothing more than a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. In order for Cracraft to be eligible to play again this season, the Dolphins will have to activate him from IR and add him back to the 53-man roster following their Week 10 bye.
