The NFL Network reported Monday that Butler has been away from the team to address the personal matter and "retirement or stepping away from the game" was on the table. The report didn’t address what the personal situation was, and Butler’s agent declined to comment on the matter.

Butler, 31, signed a one-year deal worth $3.25 million with the Cardinals in March. He was brought in to succeed former All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson, who departed for the Minnesota Vikings this past offseason.
