Victor Butler back at practice

Can't verify yet, but word is he's practicing with the team which means we have 3 weeks to evaluate then we must decide to add to the 53 or place on IR.

That's pretty amazing he made it back this quick to even be considered for the 53 man roster.

I hope he makes it. That will put our pass rush at another level.

Good luck to him hope, he makes it back.

He might just be a playoff option. We'd have to carry him on the 53 for 2 or 3 weeks, but he then gets a bye week 9hopefully) before we play our 1st playoff game.

So by my math thats 8 weeks from now. Thats a lot of time if he's actually practicing now.

I remember reading that he has been making football moves and in football shape for over a month and the only thing he hadn't been doing during rehab was hitting (obviously). I think he comes back soon maybe he even gets activated against the Hawks on Monday night.

When would we have to make the decision? I doubt him being back by Seattle but him healthy would be increase the already impressive d.

21 more days or Dec 10. Tuesday before the Rams game, I think... That's the last day, so anytime until then

Good to hear. Although, I have to say I've been fairly impressed with our linebackers this year. Hopefully he can help out in coverage situations since that appears to be where our LB's struggle the most.
