The Arizona Cardinals released safety Harlan Miller and defensive tackle Peli Anau on Wednesday, the team announced.

Miller, a 6-foot, 182-pound safety out of Southeastern Louisiana, was the team’s 2016 sixth-round pick (205th overall).

In his first two seasons as a pro, the 23-year-old appeared in seven games with Arizona, accumulating 13 tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery.

Miller played in five games in 2017 and recorded six tackles during the Dec. 31 season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. As a rookie, he made two appearances and in the last game of the year took an interception back for a 52-yard return as Arizona beat the Los Angeles Rams, 44-6.

Anau signed with the Cardinals on Oct. 16 and joined their practice squad. The 24-year-old did not appear in a game for Arizona as a rookie last season.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pound tackle attended Horizon High School in Phoenix and went undrafted after playing at Northern Arizona.
