The Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos play their preseason finale against one another in Denver on Sunday afternoon. Then final cuts will come.
But there are some familiar faces for each team. Three Cardinals players used to play for the Broncos and a pair of players on Denver’s roster used to play for Arizona.
Who are they?
Cardinals LS Aaron Brewer
Now in his ninth season as the Cardinals’ long snapper, he played 64 games for the Broncos from 2012-2015.
Cardinals CB Michael Ojemudia
Ojemudia is a little-known player on the roster for the Cardinals and likely will be among the cuts to get the roster to 53 players, but he was drafted in the third round in 2020 by the Broncos and played three seasons for them.
Cardinals OL Elijah Wilkinson
Wilkinson, in his second season with the Cardinals, played four seasons for Denver from 2017-2020 after signing there as an undrafted rookie.
Broncos DL Zach Allen
Allen was drafted by the Cardinals in the third round in 2019 and spent four seasons in Arizona. He is in his second season with the Broncos and is expected to have a big year.
Broncos DL Angelo Blackson
Blackson spent one season with the Cardinals, playing all 16 games in 2020 and was perhaps the team’s most reliable D-lineman.
