The Miami Dolphins have been eliminated from the postseason following their 27-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Saturday night.
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 Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are set to battle in a divisional-round matchup, and there are _ 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.
Packers LS Matthew Orzech
Orzech was signed to the Dolphins practice squad in September of 2020. He never appeared in a game for Miami, as he was signed by the Tennessee Titans off of the practice squad later that season.
