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.
Have a look below.
Dolphins CB Justin Bethel
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.
Dolphins WR Robbie Chosen
Chosen was Robbie Anderson last season for the Cardinals, playing half the year in Arizona. He was a disappointment after he was acquired via trade.
He played in nine games for the Dolphins this year and caught four passes for 126 yards and a touchdown.
Chiefs QB Blaine Gabbert
Gabbert is the Chiefs’ backup quarterback. He was a backup for the Cardinals who made five starts back in 2017.

He was on the Cardinals’ practice squad for part of 2021 and spent part of the offseason in 2022 with the team.
Chiefs RB Keaontay Ingram
Ingram is on the practice squad for the Chiefs. He was cut midseason by the Cardinals after a season and a half in Arizona. The Cardinals drafted him in the sixth round in 2022.
