The 28-year-old,Miami-Florida product appeared in all 16 games in 2009 and 2010 with four total stars. He had also played in both games this season.

Butler was placed on injured reserve after suffering ruptured triceps in practice on Wednesday. Offensive tackle Andrew Gardner was elevated from the practice squad. Center/guard Cody Wallace was signed to the practice squad.
