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.

Manning is on the Niners’ practice squad. He was on the Cardinals’ roster early in the season after claiming him off waivers from the 49ers.
