Former Cal wide receiver Jordan Veasy caught two passes for the Las Vegas Raiders in their preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last Thursday, but it apparently wasn’t enough. Veasy was released by the Raiders on Wednesday.
Veasy is now a free agent and will try to stick with another team, though his best bet may be to sign with some team’s practice squad.
Veasy was signed by the Raiders in May, but was released Wednesday to make room for wide receiver Chris Lacy, who was signed by the Raiders this week.
Veasy, 27, caught two passes from former Cal quarterback Chase Garbers in the fourth quarter of the Raiders’ exhibition opener against Jacksonville. Veasy also caught a 19-yard pass from Garbers that was nullified by an offensive penalty.
Veasy was targeted five times in that game and had a chance to pull down a long pass early in the game, but was broken up in the middle of double coverage.
Veasy played at Cal in 2016 and 2017, and had 38 receptions for 491 yards and six touchdowns in 2017.

He went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft and has bounced around various NFL teams, mostly on practice squads. He got his first and only regular season action last year when he played in two games with the Houston Texans, though no passes were thrown his way.
