The Raiders re-signed Butler on a one-year deal Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. 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.

Butler (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans. 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.

Butler made four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins. 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.
