Former Cowboys Set to Play in NFL Divisional Round
There are four different Cowboys set to participate in the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs. The four players span across three different teams -- those being the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers.
The Ravens have two Cowboys on the roster, though former Oklahoma State star wide receiver Tylan Wallace is inactive. He's dealing with a knee injury that will hold him out of the game. He's been the team's punt returner while Devin Duvernay is injured. While Wallace has won a game for the Ravens with an overtime punt return score, he's not been utilized in the passing game.
The other Ravens player who is an Oklahoma State product is Justice Hill. He's been used as the team's backup running back as he has 387 rushing yards on the season. Hill will be used in the run game but also catches the ball plenty out of the backfield as a potential big-play player.
In the Divisional Round, which will be the Ravens' first playoff game, they face CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans.
Another Cowboy still searching for a Super Bowl is Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez. The former Cowboy has 22 total tackles on the season and will play in a big matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tay Martin, another former Oklahoma State wide receiver, was activated to the San Francisco 49ers' active roster. He's yet to record any NFL snaps as he's in his first season playing in the league as an undrafted rookie.
It's good to see different Oklahoma State talents contributing across a few teams in the NFL playoffs. It'll be interesting to see how much the former Cowboys contribute to their big games.
