The Miami Dolphins have had an active week following their bye already, as they switched out wideouts on the practice squad on Monday.
Then, on Tuesday, they had to make a decision on the future of wide receiver River Cracraft, who was coming to the end of his 21-day practice window. They decided to activate him, which kept him from missing the remainder of the season.
Cracraft had played a role in Miami’s first three games, recording six receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown before suffering a shoulder injury in their huge win over the Denver Broncos.
To make room for Cracraft, the Dolphins released cornerback Kelvin Joseph.
Joseph, 23, has appeared in four games this season for Miami, mainly on special teams, recording two tackles. He was originally acquired right before the season in a trade that sent Noah Igbinoghene to the Dallas Cowboys, but he had been a healthy scratch in five contests.
