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.

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.
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.
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.
Cracraft (shoulder) is active for Monday night's game against the Rams. Cracraft is thus 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 in Week 10 are Odell Beckham and Malik Washington.
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.
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.
Cracraft (shoulder) will not be activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Buffalo, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Cracraft began the regular season on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury he sustained during training camp in August. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, but seeing as he was a limited participant all week, the Dolphins will take the cautious route and keep the 30-year-old wideout on IR for at least another week. Cracraft's next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Rams on Monday, Nov. 11.
Cracraft (upper body) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Cracraft was limited in practice throughout the week, and despite his questionable designation, head coach Mike McDaniel suggested earlier Friday that he won't return for the Dolphins' Week 9 contest, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. If Cracraft is activated to Miami's active roster in time to play Sunday, he'll serve as a depth piece in the team's wide receiver room.
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Friday that he's being "cautious" with Cracraft's (upper body) timeline, suggesting he likely won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. There was optimism that Cracraft would be able to return for Sunday's divisional matchup after he was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, but McDaniel's comments Friday indicate he's not expected to play. Cracraft's participation in practice throughout next week will likely be the best indication of whether he can return in Week 10, when the Dolphins play the Rams on Monday night.
