The 2023-24 NFL playoffs are now underway, and while some former Mountaineers have the opportunity to play in the playoffs, others were on teams that did not qualify. Let’s take a look at who all did or didn’t qualify for the playoffs.
Made the playoffs
Ravens DB Daryl Worley- The Ravens are the top seed in the AFC playoffs though Daryl Worley won’t be featured in them after being placed on season-ending injured reserve prior to Week 18.
49ers OT Colton McKivitz- The 49ers are the top seed in the NFC playoffs, and they await to see who their opponent will be in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Bills CB Rasul Douglas- The Bills are the two seed in the AFC playoffs, and they play host to the Steelers in the Wild Card Round this Sunday. Douglas did not practice this week and is questionable for Sunday’s game.
Browns LB Tony Fields II- The Browns are the five seed in the AFC playoffs and will visit the Texans in the Wild Card Round this Saturday.
Dolphins LB David Long Jr.- The Dolphins are the six seed in the AFC playoffs and will visit the Chiefs in the Wild Card Round this Saturday in a game being exclusively shown on Peacock.
