The San Francisco 49ers might have missed out on the playoffs, but there are plenty of familiar faces that will be playing this weekend and the coming weeks.
Here are the former 49ers in each playoff game:
Saturday
Indianapolis Colts (11-5) vs Buffalo Bills (13-3) at 10:05 a.m.
The Colts have just one former 49er, but he’s a big one. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (2016-2019) was named first-team All-Pro on Friday. He’ll try to stop the high-powered Buffalo offense on Saturday.
The Bills have two former 49ers in backup quarterback Matt Barkley (2017) and practice squad guard Jordan Devey (2015). Neither are likely to play.

With concerns about their depth at cornerback, the Bears added 2017 second-round pick Teez Tabor to their practice squad Wednesday.
The Lions drafted Tabor at No. 53 overall , but he started only five games for them and hasn’t played since 2018. He was with the 49ers last year and this year but never made it to their active roster. They waived him in July with a non-football injury.
Tabor played in 12 games (four starts) for the Lions in 2018 and did not impress. He was targeted 27 times and allowed 17 completions for 335 yards and three touchdowns. Opposing quarterbacks posted a 143.3 passer rating against him.
