Ravens receiver Jeremy Butler led the team in receiving during the preseason. Ultimately, that wasn’t enough to get him a spot on the 53-man roster.

Butler has been waived, per a source with knowledge of the move.

Undrafted as a free agent in 2014, Butler had hoped that his time on the practice squad coupled with his performance in the offseason, training camp, and the preseason would result in a full-time job. He caught 16 passes for 148 yards in four preseason games.

Butler likely will return to the practice squad if he clears waivers. It will be interesting to see if he has done enough in August to attract the attention of another team.
