Butler (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Butler spent nearly the entire regular season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained in December of 2024. He has progressed enough to play in Sunday's regular-season finale, and he could see some snaps in the secondary due to the absences of Shavon Revel (concussion) and DaRon Bland (foot - IR).

Butler (knee) was activated off the reserve/PUP list Saturday and remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Butler posted his first full participation Friday since returning to practice Dec. 17, but he remains questionable for Week 18 versus the Giants. The 29-year-old has yet to play this season but accounted for 21 total tackles and five pass breakups through five games in 2024. If he's available, Butler could have increased reps in the season finale alongside Caelen Carson and Shavon Revel.

Butler (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Michigan State product returned to practice on Dec. 17 but will remain on the injured reserve list through Week 17. Butler has yet to play this season after posting 21 total tackles and five passes defensed across five contests in 2024. While he remains sidelined Thursday, Trevon Diggs and Caelen Carson (hamstring, questionable) will likely start as the Cowboys' top outside cornerbacks.

Butler (knee) will not be activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Patrick Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Butler has yet to play in a game this regular season, and that will not change in Sunday's game. The cornerback will likely play a depth role in the Cowboys' secondary once he is healthy, but he will have to look toward Week 17 for a potential 2025 debut.

Butler (knee) was designated to return from the active/PUP list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was placed on the active/PUP list in late July due to a knee injury, but he'll return to practice for the first time Wednesday. Butler appeared in five games for the Cowboys in 2024, recording 21 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and five passes defensed. Once fully healthy, he'll likely play a depth role in Dallas' secondary.

EDGE Analysis
Butler tore his ACL late in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' Week 13 win.
