7 player connections between Cardinals, Seahawks

The Arizona Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks this weekend for the second time this season. They are familiar opponents, as they are division foes, but they also have familiar faces on their rosters.

Between the two teams, seven players on their roster and injured reserve spent time with the other. The Cardinals have five former Seahawks and the Seahawks have two former Cardinals.

The last time the two teams met, they had eight player connections.
