The New England Patriots are amidst unexpected changes. Malcolm Butler signed with the Patriots in March. He is a veteran cornerback. But it seems like his time with the Patriots has come to an end. New England placed Butler on a season-ending injured reserve. Although the team did not reveal what kind of injury the player suffered, he has not practiced since last week’s preseason opener. It looks like once a beast of a team is crumbling. Seeing how the state of the team fans is crestfallen.

Along with Malcolm Butler, the Patriots also put Joejuan Williams (team’s cornerback) on injured reserve because of a shoulder injury.

The New England Patriots are losing their hold

The 32-year-old Malcolm Butler wanted a chance to play again in the NFL. He has been running with the team’s second-string defense in the training camp.

The cornerback played his first four NFL seasons with the Pats and won Super Bowl XLIX with them. However, a bizarre benching in the Super Bowl LII proved to be a career lowlight for him.

Then he played three seasons with the Titans. After that, he announced his retirement due to personal reasons at the end of the preseason. But another unfortunate event stole his chance to play for the New England Patriots.

How did fans react to the news?

This user seems to forget that the cornerback returned to the field.

The team put Butler and Williams both on injured reserve. And it is only frustrating for the fan to witness this.

The athlete came out of retirement to sign with the Pats. Is it time to reconsider that?

It is hapless because Butler could not play in the regulars even after being a part of the team.

The user says this because Butler famously intercepted Russell Wilson at the goal line. And won the victory over Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX by a 28-24 record.

Many did not know that Butler resigned from the Patriots. Therefore, some commentators stay indifferent to the news.

It is difficult for a player to return to the games after sitting out a year. Now he will have to wait after the 2022 season to make another comeback if he wishes.
