Expected to practice next week
Butt (knee) is set to begin practicing next week, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Butt should be fully recovered from his ACL injury by the time he's eligible to retake the field Week 9. However, the Broncos can only designate two of Butt, Drew Lock (thumb), Theo Riddick (shoulder) and Tim Patrick (hand) to be activated from IR. With a plethora of young tight ends already on the roster, including rookie first-round pick Noah Fant, it remains to be seen whether Butt will be one of the two players selected to return by Denver.

Will start season on IR
General manager John Elway told reporters Saturday that Butt (knee) will be placed on injured reserve to start the season, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A feel-good story throughout camp, Butt has dealt with numerous setbacks during his recovery from a season-ending ACL tear, necessitating a recent scope. Butt should be recovered even before he's eligible to return after eight weeks, but it's fair to wonder -- with other young tight ends on the roster -- whether Denver would spend one of its two return designations on Butt, who has been healthy for just three games through two-plus seasons.

Expected to miss one month
Butt will miss approximately one month while on the mend from left knee surgery, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Broncos are estimating that Butt will miss about a month, though that timeline could change after surgery. Either way, he'll remain out for at least the first four weeks of the regular season and likely longer.

Needs another knee surgery
Butt is scheduled for minor surgery on his left knee following his most recent setback, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Butt returned from his third ACL tear for Saturday's preseason loss to the Rams, hauling in both of his targets for 17 yards. He apparently suffered a setback either during the game or Monday at practice, as he wasn't present Tuesday when coach Vic Fangio ruled the tight end out for Thursday's preseason finale versus Arizona. The 24-year-old now appears in danger of spending another season on injured reserve, even though his latest surgery is considered minor.

Knee still an issue
Butt (knee) won't practice Tuesday and will sit out Thursday night's preseason finale against the Cardinals, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Additionally, coach Vic Fangio hasn't ruled out the possibility of placing Butt on IR in conjunction with roster cut-downs later this week. The reason the move is being considered is that the tight end's knee continues to flare up at times, and the team may elect to shut down the 2017 fifth-rounder until the issue settles down.

Nabs two passes in preseason debut
Butt caught both of his targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Recovering from his third ACL tear, Butt finally made his preseason debut Saturday, logging 11 offensive snaps and making two nice catches underneath. The Broncos are thin down the tight-end depth chart with Austin Fort and Bug Howard on injured reserve. Fullback Andy Janovich (pectoral) should also miss the first few games of the year. Provided he doesn't suffer another setback in his rehab, Butt has a decent shot at making the final roster.

Making progress
Butt is expected to fully participate in non-padded team drills during Wednesday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Butt is coming off an ACL tear that ended his 2018 season, the third such injury of his career. The 2017 fifth-round pick is competing for a depth role in Denver's tight end room.

Returns to practice
Butt (knee) returned to practice Sunday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Butt has been working his way back from a torn ACL that ended his 2018 season. He's battling for a fringe roster spot as the team's No. 4 tight end.

Odds of making roster improve
Rookie Austin Fort, who was competing with Butt (knee) for a roster spot, is out for the season with a torn ACL, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Butt is working his way back from a torn ACL himself and was facing serious pressure from Fort for the TE4 job, with Fort turning plenty of heads in training camp. With Fort now out, and fullback Andy Janovich (pectoral) set to miss six to eight weeks, the odds are as high as ever that Denver carries four tight ends for at least the first few weeks of the season. Butt is still dealing with knee pain and so his health will need to improve for him to have any sort of shot, but after providing a…read more

Feeling pressure to return
Butt (knee) said that his knee is sound following a torn ACL that ended his 2018 season, but that he knows he needs to prove himself on the practice field to make the team, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Long story short, the news is good for Butt. Though he was hoping to rehab in just six months, like he was able to following his first torn ACL, he's seeing improvement and his knee is structurally fine. That doesn't necessarily mean that he still finds a way on the final 53-man roster. Though Butt noted Denver's faith in him by keeping the Michigan product around, the front office did re-sign Jeff Heuerman and draft Noah Fant in the first round all while youngsters Troy Fumagalli and Austin…read more

Stands at No. 4 on depth chart
Butt (knee) is listed as the Broncos' fourth tight end on the team's first official depth chart.
Analysis: The Broncos thought that they were getting a steal when they drafted Butt in the fifth round of the 2017 draft, but the Michigan product has played in just three games in two season as a result of a pair of torn ACLs. Now, he is squarely on the roster bubble. Veteran Jeff Heuerman and rookie Noah Fant are just about guaranteed spots on the roster, and sophomore Troy Fumagalli earned first-team reps in the spring. It is certainly possible that Denver carries four tight ends this season, but it…read more

Still not practicing
Butt (knee) is not practicing Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Butt participated in some 7-on-7 drills during last week's practice, but has not taken the field since. The 2017 fifth-round pick is coming off the second ACL tear of his NFL career, so it's understandable that the Broncos are taking a cautious approach to his recovery. Butt is competing for a backup tight end role.

Injury isn't major concern
Butt's knee injury is not a major concern according to head coach Vic Fangio, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports. "I don't think it's major concern," Fangio said Monday. "Kind of to be expected. Just didn't feel right for him."
Analysis: The Broncos are off Tuesday, so the tight end's next opportunity to take the field will come Wednesday. Butt has had an injury-riddled beginning to his NFL career, suffering two torn ACLs in his first two seasons in the league. For that reason, the Broncos are likely to exercise extreme caution with Butt this preseason.

Not practicing Sunday
Butt (knee) is not practicing Sunday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Butt participated in a few snaps of 7-on-7 work late last week. The team appears to be taking it slow with Butt as he works his way back from the third ACL tear in his career. He's competing for a backup tight end role.

Returns to practice
Butt (knee) played 5-to-6 snaps of 7-on-7 during Thursday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Butt was finally able to return to practice and took part in some 7-on-7 work. "I have to shake off some rust," stated Butt. "It's been a while. It feels like I've been fighting an uphill battle overcoming this third ACL. It's going to take some time and that being said, it's still really early." Butt has logged just three NFL games since being selected in the 2017 Draft after tearing his ACL yet again in September of 2018.

Won't land on PUP list
Butt (knee) won't be placed on the physically unable to perform list this offseason but will be eased into team activities, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Butt has played in just three games since being drafted in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, largely due to tearing his ACL for the third time in five years. The team reported earlier that the tight end was likely to be cleared to participate in training camp when it opens Thursday, and this news confirms that notion. A slow transition back into the fold should be expected for the Michigan product, but the 23-year-old could be fighting for a roster spot after the team drafted Noah Fant…read more

Will participate in training camp
Butt (knee) will be cleared to participate in training camp, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Butt, who tore his ACL for the third time in the last five years, has played in just three games since being drafted in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. A report surfaced at the end of March that Butt wouldn't be able to practice until sometime in August, so it's encouraging to see the team confident the injury-prone tight end can take part immediately. The Broncos are expected to slowly transition Butt back into the fold, but the 23-year-old could be fighting for a roster spot after the…read more

Could be back for camp
Coach Vic Fangio said he's hopeful Butt (knee) will be available for training camp, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.
Analysis: The beginning of training camp sounds optimistic given Butt's statement in late March that he was still about five months away from being able to practice. His timeline hints at a possible stint on the PUP list to begin the season, which shouldn't come as any surprise for a player recovering from his third ACL tear in a five-year span. The injury in September at least took place in his left knee, while the first two tears impacted his right. The Broncos don't seem to be counting on Butt for a…read more

Still far away from practice
Butt (knee) said he is about five months away from being able to practice, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Rehabbing from his third ACL tear, Butt apparently isn't on track for the start of training camp but could be ready at some point during the first half of the 2019 season. He's pleased with his progress since suffering the latest injury in late September, and there's no question the Broncos could use some help at tight end after losing Matt LaCosse to the Patriots. The team did re-sign Jeff Heuerman, who served as the starter in 2018 until a bruised lung and broken ribs forced him to injured…read more

Progressing in rehab
Butt (knee) is aiming to return to the field in time for OTAs this spring, Ryan O'Halloran of the Denver Post reports. "I'll be here all offseason rehabbing and at the very least I'll be fully healthy for [training] camp," Butt said. "I'm progressing and I have goals. I want to at least be doing something during OTAs. I feel really good."
Analysis: Butt, who tore up his knee twice in college, is on the mend from a torn ACL in his left leg that he suffered in practice last September. The tight end will be roughly seven months removed from surgery by the time the offseason program begins in April, which is likely too early to expect someone to be running at full speed. With that said, we just saw the Chargers' Hunter Henry return from an ACL tear in less than eight months. Regardless of when exactly he returns to the field, Butt seems on…read more

Ends second season on IR
Butt caught eight of 12 targets for 85 yards in 2018.
Analysis: After essentially red-shirting as a rookie -- still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the Orange Bowl -- Butt lasted just three games in his sophomore campaign before suffering another torn ACL in practice. When he was on the field, Butt drew praise from teammates and coaches in practice and looked to be building a solid rapport with Case Keenum in games. Assuming he regains his health, he looks to be the best of a large collection of young, unestablished options at Denver's disposal. One…read more
