Has career year as starter in 2024
Butler finished the 2024 season with 65 tackles (36 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two pass breakups and one forced fumble across 17 games with Las Vegas.
Analysis: Butler started just 19 of the 97 games he appeared in prior to 2024, but he was thrust into the starting lineup for coach Antonio Pierce and started 16 of the Raiders' 17 contests. His 65 tackles nearly doubled his previous career high of 34, set in 2020 with the Patriots. Butler has also posted back-to-back 5.0-sack campaigns with Las Vegas after signing a pair of one-year contracts with the team following a 2022 season spent out of the league. Butler turns 31 in April and is slated for…read more

Set to face Jacksonville
Butler is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Butler was listed as questionable ahead of this past Monday's game against the Falcons and ended up starting and logging a 69 percent snap share in that contest. Ahead of Week 16 action, Butler wasn't on the Raiders' injury report, so he's slated to handle defensive tackle duties once again. In 14 games, Butler has recorded 57 tackles and 3.5 sacks.

Playing Monday vs. Atlanta
Butler (concussion) is active for Monday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Butler missed the Raiders' first official practice of the week Thursday due to a concussion, but he was able to finish strong with a full practice Saturday. He's done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and will suit up Monday. Butler has logged 17 tackles (eight solo), including 2.5 sacks, in the Raiders' four regular-season games since the Week 10 bye.

Deemed questionable for MNF
Butler (concussion) practiced in full Saturday but is questionable for Monday's Week 15 tilt against Atlanta, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Butler has shown progress throughout the week, going from non-participation in practice Thursday to a limited session Friday to full participation Saturday. The veteran defensive tackle is nonetheless questionable for Monday Night Football, and it's unclear if he's cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. Butler has already posted career-high regular-season totals with 635 defensive snaps and 51 tackles (including 2.5 sacks) while adding a defensed pass over 13 games.

Misses practice Thursday
Butler (concussion) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The veteran defensive tackle has been a pleasant surprise for the Raiders in 2024, making a career-high 51 tackles (29 solo) on a career-high 635 defensive snaps so far. If he can return to practice Friday or Saturday, he may have a chance to suit up Monday against the Falcons. Matthew Butler and Jonah Laulu could be the next men up at defensive tackle if Butler can't go.

Brought back by Las Vegas
The Raiders re-signed Butler on a one-year deal Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 29-year-old will now remain in Las Vegas after spending last season with the Raiders. Butler appeared in all 17 of the Raiders' games last season, primarily serving as a rotational defensive lineman. He racked up 28 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, while also defending four passes and forcing one fumble. Butler is expected to compete for a similar role on Las Vegas' defense once again this offseason.

Active Thursday
Butler (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: The defensive tackle was questionable coming into the day after being estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Butler has 18 tackles, including two sacks, and three passes defensed in 2023.

Questionable versus Los Angeles
Butler (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and he is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Butler exited Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings with what was reported as a foot injury and did not return. He was estimated as limited for all three walkthroughs this week and he has a chance to suit up for Thursday's AFC West clash.

Exits game with foot injury
Butler (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Ready to play Sunday
Butler (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Butler was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and was originally considered questionable for Sunday, but he was quickly able to shed the injury designation. The 27-year-old has 16 total tackles and two sacks while filling a rotational role on Miami's defensive line this season.

Off COVID-19 list, status uncertain
Butler (illness) was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. He's still listed as questionable with a non COVID-19 related illness for Sunday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old has been a quality depth piece along the defensive line and should continue to reprise that role provided he's able to shake the aforementioned illness.

Placed on COVID-19 list
Butler (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the Virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Butler's addition to the COVID list would be a blow to the Dolphins' defensive-line depth if he were to miss Sunday against Tennessee. The five-year pro can clear protocols in time if he is vaccinated and able to produce two negative tests more than 24 hours apart.

Joining division rival
Butler (thigh) and the Dolphins came to terms Wednesday on a two-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Head coach Brian Flores has poached a number of his former Patriots players since joining Miami, and Butler becomes the latest to join the list. The soon-to-be 27-year-old proved himself as a reliable rotational pass rusher in New England, and though he doesn't thrive against the run, he's capable of bolstering the interior of the defensive line when needed. He dealt with a thigh injury late in 2020, but it doesn't appear that his offseason availability will be affected.

Thigh injury arises Week 17
Butler (thigh) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Depth along the interior defensive line will be depleted as long as Butler is unavailable after he exited in the fourth quarter with four tackles and a sack to his ledger. Butler has now registered four sacks since Week 12, but Akeem Spence may have to step into a more integral role at defensive tackle if the 26-year-old proves unable to return.

Third sack in four games
Butler made four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Butler rang up six sacks last season, but he started the 2020 season on a brutal cold streak. Through the first 10 games, Butler failed to post a sack. He has turned it around of late, posting three sacks over the last four games, adding 15 tackles in that stretch. Butler will look to finish on a high note with games against the Bills and the Jets to close out the season.

Cleared for Week 13
Butler (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
Analysis: The 26-year-old was held to limited participation during Friday's practice, but he's demonstrated enough in pregame warmups to get the nod for a crucial Week 13 showdown. Butler earned his second start of the 2020 campaign last Sunday against the Cardinals, also notching his first sack of the season during that contest.

Won't play Sunday
Butler has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Houston with a shoulder injury.
Analysis: The 26-year-old was limited at practice all week and was originally considered questionable, but he was downgraded to out Saturday. Tashawn Bower and Isaiah Mack could have increased roles Sunday in Butler's absence.

Ready to play Sunday
Butler (elbow) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Butler practiced in a limited fashion all week to earn the questionable tag, but he's good to go for Week 7. The 26-year-old should play his usual role up front for New England's defense.

Declared questionable for Sunday
Butler (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers.
Analysis: Butler maintained limited participation all week in practice, so he's trending in the right direction. He's expected to start at defensive end if he's active, but Deatrich Wise is in line to take over if Butler can't go.

Leaves game Sunday
Butler (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Denver.
Analysis: Butler has played every game this season despite managing a shoulder problem, but he appears to be dealing with a new issue. As long as Butler is sidelined, Lawrence Guy and Deatrich Wise are the only healthy defensive ends on the roster for Sunday's game.

Good to go Monday
Butler (shoulder) is active for Monday's game versus the Chiefs.
Analysis: Butler will avoid missing his first game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He's handled a consistent role on the Patriots' defensive line this season and has recorded eight total tackles.

Questionable for Sunday's game
Butler (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
Analysis: This is Butler's third straight week on the injury report with a shoulder issue, and he's been able to play through it so far, recording five tackles over the last two weeks. If Butler ends up missing time, expect Deatrich Wise to bump into a starting role.

Ready for Week 2
Butler (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Butler was limited in practice due to a shoulder injury all week, but he's managed to get healthy in time to face Seattle. He'll handle his usual rotational role along New England's defensive line.

Considered questionable
The Patriots have listed Butler (shoulder) as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Butler was limited at practice all week, rendering his questionable designation as not all that surprising. Deatrich Wise would be in line for increased snaps should Butler ultimately get ruled out.

Officially signs tender
Butler signed his restricted free agent tender with the Patriots on Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While Butler only started two games in 2019, he was still a key piece of interior pressure for the Patriots' defense, amassing six sacks and nine quarterback hits across 16 games last season. The second-round tender will pay the 25-year-old defensive tackle $3.26 million in 2020.

Receives second-round tender
The Patriots applied a second-round tender to Butler on Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Butler is a restricted free agent, so New England can now receive compensation should another team sign him via an offer sheet. The 25-year-old had 26 tackles (17 solo), six sacks and five passes defensed in 2019, and he has yet to miss a regular-season contest over his first three seasons.

Adds to sack total in win
Butler posted a sack during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Butler, 25, only has 16 tackles on the year, but he's racked up 5.5 sacks in 10 games. Because he does most of his damage in opposing backfields, Butler's value in IDP formats cannot be understated, but his role in New England does have a limited scope, which does impact his fantasy ceiling.
