Cowboys' Josh Butler: Cleared to play Week 18
Butler (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
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.
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.

Cowboys' Josh Butler: Out for Week 17
Butler (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
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.

Cowboys' Josh Butler: Not activated off IR
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.
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.

Cowboys' Josh Butler: Designated to return

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.

Cowboys' Josh Butler: Tears ACL in Week 13
Butler tore his ACL in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' 27-20 win over the Giants in Week 13, Randy Gurzi of SI.com reports.
Both Butler and Juanyeh Thomas suffered knee injuries in the fourth quarter of the game. While Thomas was diagnosed with a meniscus injury and has a return timeline of 2-to-3 weeks, the prognosis for Butler was worse, as it was confirmed after the game that he tore his ACL that will require surgery. It's a tough blow for Butler, who had emerged as a key piece in the Cowboys' secondary and filled in admirably at outside corner while Trevon Diggs was recovering from a groin injury. Butler will eventually be placed on injured reserve, and he'll end his 2024 campaign with 21 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and five pass defenses across five regular-season games.

Butler tore his ACL late in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' Week 13 win. He saw additional snaps on defense over the last three games due to Trevon Diggs being sidelined with a groin injury, and Butler will end his 2024 regular season with 21 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and five pass defenses across five games. Butler will likely be placed on injured reserve, and he'll shift his focus on recovery and rehab and aim to be ready for the 2025 campaign.

Cowboys' Josh Butler: Tears ACL on Thanksgiving Day
Butler tore his ACL during the Cowboys' 27-20 win over the Giants in Week 13 and is set to go on injured reserve, Josh Sanchez of SI.com reports.
Butler tore his ACL in the final minutes of the Cowboys' Week 13 win. He saw extended playing time in his last three outings due to Trevon Diggs being sidelined with a groin injury, and Butler will finish the 2024 campaign with 21 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and five pass defenses across five regular-season games. The 28-year-old Butler will shift his focus on rehabbing from his ACL injury and aim to be fully healthy for the 2025 campaign.

Cowboys' Josh Butler: Won't return Thursday
Butler (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Butler injured his knee on pass coverage late in the second quarter, and he had to be helped by trainers to the locker room. With Butler out and Trevon Diggs (groin) inactive, C.J. Goodwin and DaRon Bland will serve as the Cowboys' outside corners for the second half of Thursday's game.

Cowboys' Josh Butler: Leading tackler in Sunday's win
Butler recorded 12 tackles (10 solo) including 1.0 sacks, and added three passes defended in Sunday's win over the Commanders.
In just his fourth career NFL game, Butler led the Cowboys in tackles while delivering his first career sack -- an incredible performance from a player who went undrafted out of Michigan State back in 2018 and had to prove himself in the USFL last year before finally getting his chance. The 28-year-old cornerback got the start with Trevon Diggs (groin) sidelined, but Butler may be forcing defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer to find a role for him even when the Dallas secondary is fully healthy.
