James has been added to the Dolphins' practice squad, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports. Though he won't be added to the 53-man roster immediately, James could ultimately earn a promotion with the Dolphins short on running back depth with Knowshon Moreno out with a fractured elbow. The former second-round pick rushed for just 184 yards over 15 career games with the 49ers, before asking for his release after the first game of the season.
