The Arizona Cardinals announced on Sunday that they had released four players, all of whom were rookies that joined the team as undrafted free agents.

Shuler attended West Virginia for three years before transferring to Florida and playing there for two years. Over those two seasons at Florida, he had 68 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks.

NFL team rosters must be cut to 53 players by Saturday.
