Butler (concussion) is active for Monday's game against the Falcons. 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.

Butler (concussion) practiced in full Saturday but is questionable for Monday's Week 15 tilt against Atlanta, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. 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.

Butler (concussion) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice. 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.

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.
