Raiders' Darien Butler: Back for minicamp
Butler (concussion) is slated to compete for a role in the Raiders' linebacker corps this season, Hondo S. Carpenter Sr. of Sports Illustrated reports.

Raiders' Darien Butler: Sitting out regular-season finale
Butler (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Butler was forced out with a concussion during the Week 17 loss to the 49ers. The 22-year-old did manage to log a limited practice Wednesday, though it appears he's yet to fully clear protocols after finishing Week 18 prep as a non-participant Thursday. Butler recorded 11 tackles as a core special-teamer across 15 games this season, and his absence will leave Las Vegas with three available linebackers Saturday versus Kansas City.

Butler will not return to Sunday's game against the 49ers after suffering a concussion.
Butler will now enter the league's concussion protocols, which will potentially end his season early, and at least leave his Week 18 status in question. In his absence, Harvey Langi will likely see extra opportunities at outside linebacker.

Butler was forced out with a rib injury during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.
Butler did not record a statistic before exiting, and it's unclear when or how this injury first arose. His status during the Raiders' first practice Week 16 should provide more clarity on his status heading into Saturday's game against Pittsburgh. Butler recorded 10 tackles while almost exclusively playing on special teams heading into Sunday's win.
