Hakeem Butler A Candidate For IR
5 years agoArizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Hakeem Butler (hand) is dealing with an avulsion fracture in his hand and is now a candidate for Injured Reserve, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler, a fourth-round pick, could miss the entire season. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed that Butler will miss the remainder of the preseason, but it's too soon to tell if he'll end up on IR. It's a tough blow for Butler, but it's good news for fellow rookie wideouts Andy Isabella and Keesean Johnson, as they both have a greater chance of carving out roles behind Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk now.
