James was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
James appeared in four games with the Eagles last year but was placed on injured reserve in mid-November and missed the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old has appeared in 21 games across the last three seasons but didn't appear in any of Philadelphia's three preseason games in 2021.

Eagles' Craig James: Will miss second consecutive game
Rotowire
James (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Giants.
James missed the Eagles' last game due to a hamstring injury, and while he shook off that issue, the 24-year-old cornerback picked up a shoulder injury and missed practice Thursday and Friday. His absence will mainly affect the team's secondary depth, and he'll look to heal up for next week's clash against Cleveland.

Eagles' Craig James: Ready to rock
Rotowire
James (hamstring) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.
James missed Week 8's win over the Cowboys with the hamstring issue, but he appears on track to return to the lineup. The special teams captain has seen the majority of his snaps on that side of the ball this season, so expect him to do so again in Sunday's game against the Giants.

Eagles' Craig James: Set to miss Week 8
Rotowire
James (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
The Eagles will likely bring up a cornerback from the practice squad because Cre'von LeBlanc (quadriceps) has also been ruled out, leaving just Darius Slay, Avonte Maddox and Nickell Robey-Coleman as the healthy cornerbacks. James will look to return in a game against the Giants following the team's Week 9 bye.

Eagles' Craig James: Injures hamstring Thursday
Rotowire
James is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Giants due to a hamstring injury, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
James was forced off the field midway through the fourth quarter, so the depth cornerback may be facing long odds to return to action Thursday. His contributions are usually relegated to special teams.

Eagles' Craig James: Practice window activated
Rotowire
Philadelphia activated a 21-day practice window for James (thigh) on Wednesday.
This move means the team will have 21 days to decide whether to remove James from IR or transfer him to IR for the remainder of the season, and that James is able to resume practicing in the meantime. If the team opts to activate him, such a move could happen as soon as before Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Eagles' Craig James: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
James was signed to the Eagles' active roster Tuesday.
James, who previously resided on Philadelphia's practice squad, logged 11 special-teams snaps compared to one defensive snap for the Eagles in Week 2 against Atlanta. He figures to again serve as depth/special-teams player during Thursday's game against the Packers, but that could change quickly if an injury forces another cornerback to join starter Ronald Darby (hamstring) on the sidelines. Wide receiver Greg Ward was waived in a corresponding transaction.
