New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler returned to the team's offseason activities this week after skipping workouts prior to the 2017 NFL draft amid trade rumors.
On Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN confirmed Butler was back on the practice field. Kevin Duffy of MassLive noted he originally reported to the facility Monday.
Ben Volin of the Boston Globe added the corner is "all in" with the Patriots for 2017.
Butler was originally linked to the New Orleans Saints as part of a potential blockbuster deal involving wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
