Signs with Bears
Butt signed with the Bears on Friday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Injuries have defined Butt's career thus far. He was very highly-rated in college but tore his ACL in his final bowl game for Michigan and slipped to the fifth round of the 2017 draft. He missed all of his rookie season due to injury and all of the 2019 season as well. His entire NFL experience to date consists of three games in 2018 and five in 2020, as he battled injuries in both of those years as well. There's presumably still some talent here if he stays healthy, but the Bears will likely…read more

Won't stay in Denver
The Broncos didn't tender a contract to Butt on Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Selected one pick ahead of George Kittle in the 2017 NFL Draft, Butt has accumulated only 10 receptions for 90 yards over four career NFL games. The Michigan standout was viewed as a top tight end prospect during his senior campaign, but a torn ACL suffered during an Orange Bowl loss to Florida State kept him from making a single appearance as a rookie. Knee and hamstring issues have continued to hamper Butt throughout his career. Now seemingly back to 100 percent after being lifted from…read more

Officially comes off IR
Butt (hamstring) was removed from injured reserve Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Butt's most recent game appearance came Week 6 at New England, but he was ruled out the subsequent contest against Kansas City and moved to IR a week after that on Nov. 3. The tight end hardly made a peep in the passing game over his first five appearances of 2020, registering two catches for five yards on an offensive workload of 22.8 snaps per contest. With Noah Fant still secured atop the depth chart, Butt carries minimal upside as a depth option for Denver's 28th-ranked pass offense.

Trending in right direction
The Broncos designated Butt (hamstring) for a return from injured reserve Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Butt has resided on injured reserve since Nov. 3 with the hamstring issue, but the team will now have 21 days to officially activate the tight end. Only Noah Fant and Nick Vannett are the healthy tight ends on the roster, so Butt's inclusion in the lineup will bolster the depth if he's officially activated.

Moves to injured reserve
Butt (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old missed the past two games due to the hamstring injury and will now be sidelined for at least three additional contests. Albert Okwuegbunam and Nick Vannett (foot) should continue to work as the reserve tight ends behind starter Noah Fant for Denver.

Can't go against Chargers
Butt (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
Analysis: Butt was able to log three limited sessions during the practice week, but it's now been determined he'll miss his second consecutive contest. It seemed possible the third-year tight end may be able to suit up for the AFC West clash given his partial availability, but this update indicates tight end depth will be depleted behind No. 1 and 2 options Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam.

Considered questionable for Sunday
Butt (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Butt missed last week's blowout loss to the Chiefs, but a trio of limited practices this week will leave the door open for a Week 8 return. He'll be the No. 3 tight end upon returning to the field, as rookie Albert Okwuegbunam has proven to be a solid pass catcher behind top option Noah Fant.

Limited at Wednesday's practice
Butt (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old sat out Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after being considered questionable, but he's back at practice Wednesday. Butt could receive the questionable tag again if he's unable to progress to full practice participation by Friday.

Out Week 7
Butt (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old played a season-high 39 offensive snaps last week but won't be available for Week 7 due to the hamstring issue. Noah Fant (ankle) is back in action Sunday, so it's unlikely Butt would have factored into the passing game regardless.

Questionable to face Chiefs
Butt (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Butt played a season-high 61 percent of offensive snaps against New England in Week 6, but he didn't draw a single target. Top tight end Noah Fant (ankle) is on track to return Sunday, so even if Butt were forced to sit out, Denver's offense wouldn't be affected much.

Stringing together strong practices
Butt has made a positive impression on the coaching staff so far during training camp, Benjamin Allbright of KOA 850 AM Denver reports.
Analysis: Butt was viewed as a potential cornerstone at tight end for Denver coming out of college in 2017, but knee injuries have limited him to just three games in three seasons. Quality practice reps aside, Butt has a steep climb to make the final roster. Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam represent the future of the position in Denver, while Andrew Beck offers the ability to serve as a key blocker in the run game at either tight end or fullback. Assuming that the Broncos carry just four tight ends…read more

Healthy this offseason
Butt is ready for a full workout and practice plan this offseason, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: The 2017 fifth-round pick has suffered three ACL tears since 2014, and he missed the entire 2019 season after having "minor" knee surgery in late August. With only three regular-season NFL appearances to his name, Butt faces an uphill battle to earn a spot on the Broncos' 53-man roster.

No tread in 2019
Butt (knee) wasn't activated from IR in 2019.
Analysis: After tearing his ACL in September of 2018, Butt started the season on injured reserve. The Broncos never activated him despite completing rehab, as they later used their two IR activations on Tim Patrick (hand) and Drew Lock (thumb). Butt is under contract for the 2020 season, but he's not a lock to make the final roster because Noah Fant, Jeff Heurerman, Troy Fumagalli and Austin Fort (knee) will all be in the battle as well.
