The likely hope is that James goes unclaimed, clears waivers, and reverts back to the 49ers. After that, he will automatically land on injured reserve.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
Cracraft (6-0, 198) signed a one-year extension with the 49ers on February 22, 2021. He was later waived on August 24, 2021.
James (5-9, 185) appeared in 40 games (10 starts) and registered 38 receptions for 689 yards and three touchdowns after the team drafted him in the seventh round (240th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft. He also added 51 punt returns for 373 yards and 47 kickoff returns for 1,081 yards and one touchdown on special teams.
