Deon Butler is ready to get back in a game after a nearly yearlong recovery from a broken right leg.
Butler fractured his leg taking a knee to his shin from San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nate Clements while catching a 2-yard touchdown pass in a 40-21 loss to the 49ers last December.
He was placed on the physically unable to perform list before training camp, making him ineligible for the first six weeks of the season. Butler has been able to practice with the team the last three weeks but had yet to be activated to the 53-man roster with six receivers already on the active roster.
But the team placed Kris Durham on injured reserve with a torn labrum on Tuesday, giving Butler a spot to fill on the roster on the last day he could remain on the PUP list.
