Butler played in the Patriots preseason opener against the New York Giants last week

But Butler was not seen in the training camp this week

Butler started the preseason opener at cornerback and played 23 defensive snaps and finished with one tackle and one fumble recovery.

Butler hopes to make an impact on a Patriots defense that lost Pro Bowl cornerback JC Jackson.

It's never easy for a player to return to football after a year out

Butler struggles at camp this summer

Looks like he's behind outside cornerbacks Jalen Mills, Jonathan Jones and Terrance Mitchell
