  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Ready to go for London game

    Butler (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.

    Butler entered concussion protocol following the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Seahawks but ended up making quick progress through the five-step protocol. After opening Week 4 prep as a non-participant, Butler turned in full practices Thursday and Friday and apparently received clearance from an independent neurologist at some point shortly thereafter. He'll be available to serve in a depth role in the secondary but is likely to see most of his snaps on special teams.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Iffy for Week 4

    Butler is recovering from a concussion ahead of the Commanders' matchup in London against the Colts in Week 4, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.

    It's not immediately clear when Butler suffered the concussion, but his availability for Week 4 is now up in the air. In the event he can't suit up against Indianapolis, Tyler Owens could be in line to see a few snaps in the secondary.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Cleared to play against Bolts

    Butler (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Butler has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury he sustained against the Raiders in Week 3. The 2022 fourth-rounder has primarily served on special teams this season and has logged four tackles (three solo) across three games.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Won't play Sunday

    Butler (hip) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

    The 2022 fourth-round pick from Louisiana was initially listed as questionable after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Commanders' week of practice. However, it now appears Butler's hip injury is enough to sideline him in Week 4. He's played just six defensive snaps through Washington's first three contests, so his absence is likely to have minimal impact Sunday.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Questionable for Week 4

    Butler (hip) is questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Butler was unable to practice at all this week as he nurses a hip injury that he suffered in Week 3 against Las Vegas. If the safety can't go Sunday in Atlanta, Darnell Savage or Jeremy Reaves would likely start in his place.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Exits with hip injury

    Butler is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a hip injury.

    Butler limped to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's game, and he is being evaluated by trainers to determine the severity of his hip injury. With Will Harris (ankle) done for the day, Jeremy Reaves and Tyler Owens are the top candidates to get work at safety alongside Quan Martin.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Logs 17 regular-season appearances

    Butler made 47 tackles (29 solo) and had one passed defensed across 17 regular-season appearances with the Commanders in 2024.

    Butler acted as a regular rotational contributor in the secondary for Washington, though he struggled to make a significant impact with his defensive opportunities. The 2022 fourth-round pick is now entering the final year of his rookie deal with the Commanders.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Unlikely to start this year

    Quan Martin has been getting most of the first-team reps at free safety ahead of Butler and Darrick Forrest, Hogs Haven's Jamual Forrest reports.

    Butler and Forrest both made starts under the previous coaching staff but now appear headed for backup roles under Dan Quinn. Moving Butler to free safety frees up the slot corner role for rookie second-round pick Mike Sainristil, who was one of the top collegiate players at that spot for Michigan the past two seasons. Butler and Forrest might even end up competing for a single roster spot.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Active at OTAs

    Butler (wrist) is participating at Washington's organized team activities, Stephen Whyno of the team's official website reports.

    Butler missed the final two games of the 2023 season due to a wrist injury. The severity of the injury was unknown at that time, but his presence at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par. He projects to start at free safety in the upcoming season opposite Jeremy Chinn.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Season over

    Butler (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Butler missed his first game of the season in Week 16. With the Commanders already being eliminated from playoff contention, they will exercise caution here instead of having the 23-year-old play through the pain. In his absence, Terrell Burgess will presumably fill in at free safety.
