Cracraft announced on X/Twitter on Monday that he will re-sign with the Dolphins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft has spent the past two seasons with the Dolphins after working his way up from the practice squad early in the 2022 campaign. While the 6-foot wideout had some notable single-gme performances in the first two games of the 2022 regular season, he's totaled just 18 catches for 223 yards and three touchowns over the past two years. he's also regularly dealt with injuries which have limited him to just 21 appearances over this span. Expect Cracraft to once again compete with Erik Ezukanma for a role behind starting wideouts Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios.

Cracraft secured nine of 12 targets for 121 yards and one touchdown across 10 appearances during the 2023 season.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft's depth role on offense with the Dolphins actually allowed him to set career-high marks across the board on offense, though his six special-teams snaps were a career low. Having played two consecutive seasons on one-year deals with Miami, Cracraft's familiarity with coach Mike McDaniel's offensive system means it could make sense for the Dolphins to re-sign him again in free agency. In any case, he stands to handle his usual depth role during Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Chiefs.

Cracraft is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
With Cracraft a healthy scratch Sunday, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are in line to lead Miami's Week 16 WR corps, with Cedrick Wilson, Braxton Berrios, Robbie Chosen and Chase Claypool also on hand to mix in. In eight games thus far, Cracraft has recorded an 8/103/1 receiving line on 10 targets.

Cracraft played 24 of the Dolphins' 61 snaps on offense and recorded two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's 45-15 win over the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft made his second appearance for Miami since being activated from injured reserve Nov. 14 after a seven-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The 29-year-old is valued for his skills as a blocker when he's on the field, but he doesn't project to see much involvement as a pass catcher while fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are both available.

Cracraft (shoulder) isn't listed on the Dolphins' Week 11 injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft was returned to the 53-man roster Tuesday, as his 21-day window to practice with the team after being designated to return from injured reserve was nearing an end. While practicing within that 21-day window, the wideout never managed more than limited participation, but he's apparently returned to full activity coming out of the Dolphins' Week 10 bye. With Braxton Berrios (hamstring) and Chase Claypool (knee) both uncertain to play Sunday against the Raiders, Cracraft could immediately step in as Miami's No. 3 or 4 receiver. Cracraft was valued mostly for his skills as a blocker, but he also contributed a 6-87-1 receiving line on eight targets over his first three games before landing on IR.

The Dolphins reinstated Cracraft (shoulder) from injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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 went on bye Week 10, 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 53-man roster, so the team can afford to take a cautious approach with Cracraft and hold him out this Sunday against the Raiders if there's any indication he's not 100 percent healthy.

Cracraft (shoulder) was downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after the Dolphins didn't activate him from injured reserve Saturday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft was designated for return from IR on Oct. 25 and took part in his second straight week of practices with the Dolphins, though he was nothing more than a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. In order for Cracraft to be eligible to play again this season, the Dolphins will have to activate him from IR and add him back to the 53-man roster following their Week 10 bye.

Miami designated Cracraft (shoulder) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After spending the Dolphins' last four games on injured reserve, it now seems that Cracraft is nearing a return to action ahead of Week 8. Miami's injury reports this week will provide more information regarding his potential availability for Sunday versus New England.

Cracraft (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, but he will miss a minimum of three additional games after being moved to injured reserve. The soonest Cracraft could be activated would be Week 8 against the Patriots.

Cracraft (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Buffalo, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft's absence this weekend comes as no surprise after prior reports suggested that the wide receiver could be a candidate for injured reserve. On the bright side for the Dolphins, all signs point to Jaylen Waddle (concussion) returning against the Bills after he sat out the team's 70-20 win over the Broncos in Week 3.
