Dolphins, Chiefs have 5 former Cardinals in wild card matchup

The Arizona Cardinals are not in the postseason following their 4-13 2023 campaign. However, many former Cardinals players find themselves on the rosters of teams who are still alive.

The second Saturday wild card game features the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs.

Between the two teams on their active rosters and practice squads, they have five former Cardinals.

Bethel was drafted in 2012 by the Cardinals and played six seasons in Arizona, making the Pro Bowl three times as a special teamer.

He has played two seasons for the Dolphins and played mostly on special teams but did have his start on defense since 2017.
