Haven't heard anything about his health status. Obviously he's an unknown but still an instrumental part of what our Defense could be this season.

Any recent news on his recovery and is he a starter assuming he's healthy?

Ingram's fatass is gunning for him in OTAs again, no one goes harder without the pads on

There really hasn't been much info released about Butler in a while. All I've seen was a post by Larry Holder saying he believes Butler is fully healthy but he didn't really sound definitive.

I don't know why you're getting all the retard responses, it's a legitimate question.

I've been bragging about getting Butler.... since last season... it'd be nice to know if he's going to suit up and play at 100%

Thank you for the real response. Thought it was a legit question as well.

This is from the Saints site today..

Victor Butler will be making his return:
quote:

With all the outside talk about the New Orleans Saints needing to add a linebacker to the corps, it’s easy to forget that there already is a relatively new one on the roster – Victor Butler. Butler, a free agent addition in 2013, missed all of last season after tearing his ACL during offseason workouts. He worked hard to make a return during the season but finally was shut down when it was deemed he simply wasn’t ready. Well, he should be ready now, and his return should be the equivalent of the Saints adding a prized free agent to the roster. If Butler can do the things that the Saints believed he could do when he came over from Dallas – and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan best will know if Butler is ready, having coached him in Dallas, and best will know how to use Butler’s talents – then it should help upgrade a unit that looks to build on a standout 2013 season.

I wonder why Crooks is absent this week?

Cooks is out because his school isn't finished yet, odd schedule there (I think).

I just researched Victor's stats, and I was surprised to see he only has 69 tackles in his entire career

That's not good. I thought he was better than that.

He was a backup playing less than 25% of the snaps yet still produced a high number of sacks. Junior only has 60 tackles with 28 coming last season. He

PFF graded him extremely well. He was 14th in pass rush productivity in 2012

Exactly. Hard to see the field when you're sitting behind Demarcus Ware. He looked great when he was on the field. I'm hoping for some big production from him.

On a more positive injury note, cornerback Patrick Robinson and linebacker Victor Butler were back at full speed after missing all of last season with knee injuries.

If Butler comes back healthy and plays as well as they hoped and if PRob can perform as a first round pick along with Vaccaro coming back and the other additions - good grief, this defense will be nasty.

Add Cooks to the offense and if Ingram continues his late season form and this could be an amazing team.

Lots of "ifs," but lots to be encouraged about, too.
