Minnesota Vikings

The Baltimore Ravens have signed former Vikings star running back Dalvin Cook to their 53-man roster, they announced this week. He replaces Melvin Gordon III as Baltimore's RB3 behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.

After six seasons and four Pro Bowls in Minnesota, Cook signed with the Jets last offseason. Unfortunately, his time in New York was highly disappointing and came to an end when the two sides agreed to part ways before the conclusion of the regular season. Cook then signed with the Ravens and could potentially be in the mix to see the field during Saturday's divisional playoff game against the Texans. Baltimore is the No. 1 seed in the AFC and is the betting favorite to win the conference.

Here are the former Vikings players and coaches on the eight teams that are still alive in the postseason:

NFC

1. San Francisco 49ers

  • DT T.Y. McGill (practice squad)
  • OL Jesse Davis (practice squad)
  • Offensive passing game specialist Klint Kubiak

3. Detroit Lions

  • QB Teddy Bridgewater
  • QB David Blough (practice squad)
  • TE Shane Zylstra (IR)

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • K Chase McLaughlin
  • WR Cephus Johnson III (practice squad)
  • OLBs coach George Edwards

7. Green Bay Packers

  • TE Ben Sims
  • LB Eric Wilson

AFC

1. Baltimore Ravens

  • DT Michael Pierce
  • RB Dalvin Cook
  • WR Laquon Treadwell (practice squad)
