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.
