PFT - Report: Saints set to release linebacker Victor Butler

Kind of disappointed because I thought he could bring a rangy speed element that we're sorely lacking at the linebacker position but you can't keep everybody.

Meh. Tons of potential but I was getting annoyed seeing his name on the "did not participate in practice" list. Wonder if Lorig is next.

Agree on Butler, disagree on Lorig.
Lorig might go PUP and miss 6 games, with Johnson or Jones filling in. Butler had participated in one walk through so far

Players can't go on PUP unless they were designated PUP at the start of camp. If they practice one day, they are no longer eligible for the PUP list.

Right. I guess I meant the 6 week IR.
I think we can only designate one guy, though, and Stills and Lorig are our candidates.

Hopefully, Kenny Stills' injury is not bad enough for that designation. Lorig' might be. He would be the candidate for IR designated to return. Austin Johnson can do the job in the meantime, and Josh Hill can spell him playing H-back.
