The Miami Dolphins have been eliminated from the postseason following their 27-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs a couple of weeks back.
So, while Dolphins fans prepare for the offseason, there are a number of former Dolphins who are still playing for a Super Bowl championship that they can support.
This Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions are set to battle in a conference-championship matchup, and there are seven former Dolphins on their rosters and practice squads.
Here’s a look at which players who once donned the aqua and orange will play in this one:
49ers OL Jesse Davis
Davis was signed by the Dolphins in 2016 after stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets. Over five seasons with Miami, he played in 80 games and started 72 at both guard and tackle before leaving to join the Minnesota Vikings last season.
49ers OL Jake Brendel
Brendel signed with the Dolphins in 2016 after a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys. In three seasons with Miami, he appeared in 21 games and started three before joining the Denver Broncos in 2019.
49ers LS Taybor Pepper
Pepper spent the 2019 season with the Dolphins after previously being with the Geen Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants. He played in all 16 games before joining the 49ers the following season.
Lions DE Charles Harris
Harris was a first-round selection of the Dolphins back in 2017 out of Missouri, but he struggled to live up to his draft stock during his three seasons with Miami.
In 41 games, he recorded 61 tackles, 3.5 sacks, two passes defensed and one fumble recovery before being traded to the Atlanta Falcons for a seventh-round pick.
Lions QB Teddy Bridgewater
Bridgewater was signed as a free agent to a one-year deal prior to the 2022 season. He played in five games for the Dolphins due to injuries to Tua Tagovailoa before leaving for the Detroit Lions this season.
In those five games, Bridgewater completed 62% of his passes for 683 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions and a 85.6 passer rating.
Lions DL Benito Jones
Jones was signed by Miami as an undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss in 2020. He spent his first two seasons with the Dolphins before being cut during 2022 roster cuts.
In six games with the Dolphins, Jones recorded two tackles.
Lions LB Mitchell Agude
Agude signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent back in May after a collegiate career that took him from Riverside Community College to UCLA and then to Miami.
The 24-year-old was cut during final roster cuts, so he never played a regular-season game with the team.
