Cowboys' Josh Butler: Designated to return

Butler (knee) was designated to return from the active/PUP list Wednesday.

The 29-year-old was placed on the active/PUP list in late July due to a knee injury, but he'll return to practice for the first time Wednesday. Butler appeared in five games for the Cowboys in 2024, recording 21 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and five passes defensed. Once fully healthy, he'll likely play a depth role in Dallas' secondary.
