The Arizona Cardinals are not in the playoffs but a few former Cardinals players find themselves on playoff teams.

In the NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions, there aren’t any former Cardinals on their active roster.

However, there are three former Cardinals between the two teams’ practice squads.
