Patriots place Malcolm Butler on injured reserve

Patriots training camp report: Pats and Panthers fight at joint practice in Foxboro

FOXBORO – Malcolm Butler's comeback story with the New England Patriots may be over before it started.

The Patriots placed Butler on injured reserve Tuesday.

Because Butler was placed on IR during the preseason, his season is over.

Butler signed with his former team in the offseason and was looking to find a roster spot after a year away from football.

Also on Tuesday, New England placed defensive back Joejuan Williams on IR.
