Questionable to suit up Friday
Butler (thigh) is questionable to play Friday against Calgary.
ANALYSIS
Butler was limited in each of the three practice sessions this week, and all signs point to the star running back being a game-time call for Friday. Butler's absence would be significant, considering he has rushed for 370 yards and five touchdowns on 72 carries over his last five appearances.
