Butler only got into the starting line-up against GB after both Fisher and Bartell went down. And again,
Tye Hill started in Brown's place to begin with. I don't recall Butler on the field at all against Seattle. We started Fisher/Hill with Chavous moving up as the nickel corner. So I wouldn't bank on Butler starting unless we see some more injuries, though this might allow him to be active for the game.
FYI, a tidbit from Balzer about Butler:

The coaches, including Haslett, don't believe Butler is as good in coverage as the guys starting or physical enough in run support. That's their decision to make. If Butler think that's head games, so be it. Play better. Don't sulk. Offer to play special teams.
