The Dolphins signed Cracraft on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Cracraft returns to a Dolphins squad for which he recorded nine catches for 102 yards and two touchdowns while appearing both on offense and special teams in 2022. While the 28-year-old might find himself buried in a crowded receiver room headed into next season, he should still be able to carve out a role for himself on special teams.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Free agency looms
Rotowire
Cracraft secured nine of 14 targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2022.
Cracraft split time with Cedrick Wilson as the No. 4 wideout in Miami's offense during the 2022 campaign, and he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Considering that Cracraft has experience in coach Mike McDaniel's offensive scheme going back to 2021 in San Francisco, though, he could be an option to re-sign with the Dolphins at relatively low cost. Cracraft's 2022 receiving totals signify career-high marks across the board.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Returning to action Sunday
Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) is not on Miami's inactives list for Sunday's Week 17 game against New England.
Cracraft has been battling a calf injury since Week 13 and has missed each of Miami's past three contests. He logged a DNP both Wednesday and Thursday during Week 17 prep but was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Friday. He's since been deemed healthy enough to play Sunday and could slot in as Miami's No. 4 wideout behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield.

Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against New England, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
With Cracraft (who last suited up in Week 13) still sidelined, Cedrick Wilson and Braylon Sanders are available to handle the wideout reps that don't go to Miami's top three options at the position, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield. Cracraft's next chance to suit up will arrive in Week 17 against the Patriots.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Remains sidelined Thursday
Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) did not participate during the Dolphins' practice Thursday.
Cracraft has now missed back-to-back practices to begin Week 16 prep, so it seems he'll likely miss his third game in a row due to a calf injury. The 28-year-old caught six of seven targets for 84 yards in his last two outings, and he figures to slot in as Miami's No. 4 wideout behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield when available again. Therefore, Cracraft's likely absence should leave increased opportunities for Cedrick Wilson on Christmas Day against the Packers.

Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Cracraft's non-participation estimate was his second in as many days. He is coming off a one-game absence and has not yet started trending in a possitive direction for Saturday's game against the Bills. More clarity on his status will come with Thursday's injury report. If he is ultimately unable to go, Cedrick Wilson and Erik Ezukanma could potentially see some extra snaps in passing situations.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Logs DNP on Tuesday's estimate
Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Cracraft was unable to give it a go Sunday against the Chargers due to a calf issue, and his designation as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimate doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up this weekend versus the Bills. The 28-year-old will have two more opportunities to return to the practice field in any capacity before he'd carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's contest in Buffalo. With fellow receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) also currently listed as questionable, Jaylen Waddle, Trent Sherfield and Cedrick Wilson could all be poised for expanded roles in Week 15.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Logs limited activity
Rotowire
Cracraft (calf) was limited in Thursday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Cracraft's appearance on the injury report put his availability for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Chargers into question. Fellow wide receiver Tyreek Hill didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, so Cracraft could see an uptick in usage if Hill is unable to suit up against Los Angeles. Friday's injury report should provide further clarification regarding both of the pass-catchers' statuses.

Rotowire
Cracraft secured two of three targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.
Cracraft continues to hold down the No. 4 wideout role behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield, the latter of whom opened Sunday's loss with a 75-yard touchdown on Miami's first offensive play. With 13 targets in his last three appearances, Cracraft could find himself on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues, while heading into a Week 14 contest against the Chargers.

Dolphins' River Cracraft: Impactful in Week 12 win
Rotowire
Cracraft secured all four of his targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 30-15 win over Houston.
Cracraft was involved in Sunday's gameplan, one that saw Tua Tagovailoa spread the ball around between nine different pass-catchers while still focusing most on Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill (undisclosed), who combined for 19 targets. In seven prior appearances this season Cracraft combined for just two catches, so he's not yet on the fantasy radar, but it's noteworthy to see the 28-year-old so involved Week 12.
