The Arizona Cardinals did not make the playoffs this season, but many of their former players are now on playoff teams. There were seven former Cardinals on the rosters of the Texans and Bills, who played Saturday afternoon. Another four are on the rosters of the Titans and Patriots, who played Saturday night. Another four are on the Vikings and Saints, who play Sunday.
The wild-card game of the weekend is between the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles. Two former Cardinals are on each team.
Seahawks WR Jaron Brown
Brown was with the Cardinals five years after signing as an undrafted rookie out of Clemson. He is in his second season with the Seahawks. He had 16 catches this year for 220 yards and two touchdowns.
He is questionable for the game on Sunday with a knee injury.
Seahawks LG Mike Iupati
Iupati joined the Seahawks this season after his contract voided after 2018. He played four seasons for the Cardinals, missing 21 games over the last two years. He played in all 16 games this year for the Seahawks but has a neck injury that could keep him out of the game on Sunday.
Eagles QB Josh McCown
McCown began his career with the Cardinals in 2003 and played four seasons for Arizona. He is the Eagles’ backup quarterback at age 40.
Eagles S Rudy Ford
Ford was drafted by the Cardinals in 2017 in the sixth round and played two seasons, making a name for himself on special teams. The team traded him to the Eagles before this season. He is on injured reserve. He played in 10 games this past season.
