Butler has back injury

Brad Butler left practice early on Monday with what Dick Jauron described as a lower back injury.

“Brad kind of hurt his low back in a drill. I didn’t see the play so I don’t know exactly what happened. Bud took him in and examined him and we’ll see where it goes. He’s hoping, he’s optimistic that it’s not a long term thing so we’ll all keep believing that and hopefully that’s what it’ll be.”

Jauron did not rule out the possibility of Butler having to go back to Buffalo for tests.
