Cracraft reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft played 10 snaps (seven on offense, three on special teams) during the Commanders' 24-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday, when he returned one punt for one yard. He ended up appearing in the final two games of the regular season for Washington after joining the team's practice squad in mid-November. The veteran wide receiver will explore his options as an unrestricted free agent.

The Commanders elevated Cracraft from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft has been elevated for consecutive weeks, finishing Christmas Day's loss against the Cowboys with just one snap on the special-teams unit. With Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore all healthy and active, Cracraft is likely in line to see the same minimal special-teams snap share in Sunday's game.

The Commanders elevated Cracraft from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first time this season that the Commanders have elevated Cracraft to the active roster, and the veteran wide receiver will have an opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Cowboys on Christmas Day. Cracraft appeared in eight regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024 and logged seven catches (on nine targets) for 66 yards.

The Commanders signed Cracraft to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Washington placed Noah Brown (ribs) on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season, so Cracraft gives the team some more depth at wide receiver over the final three weeks. Cracraft hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Week 18 of last season with the Dolphins.

The Commanders waived Cracraft from the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft was signed to the practice squad Nov. 11 as additional wide receiver depth due to the injuries to starters Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Treylon Burks. With the group now healthy, the team seems to no longer require the additional depth and waived the receiver in favor of a new safety in Chris Moore. Cracraft will now go on waivers and will become a free agent if he clears.

Cracraft signed with the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran wideout spent two weeks with Washington over the summer but was cut ahead of Week 1. He'll provide experienced organizational depth for the Commanders.

Cracraft was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft signed with Washington on Aug. 14, failing to record any stats with the team during the preseason. The wide receiver played in eight regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2024, catching seven of nine targets for 66 yards, and he will likely find another suitor in the near future.

Cracraft (undisclosed) signed with the Commanders on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft was released with a non-football injury designation by the Seahawks in May, but he has subsequently recovered. The 30-year-old wide receiver has 53 games of regular-season experience under his belt but will be fighting an uphill battle to make Washington's 53-man roster.

Cracraft was released by the Seahawks on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracraft signed with the Seahawks in late March and initially appeared to be one of the team's top depth options at wide receiver following the offseason departures of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. However, the team has since decided to move in a different direction. Cracraft spent the last three seasons in Miami, catching 25 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns across 29 regular-season contests.
