Panthers defensive tackle Vernon Butler was listed as questionable coming into this game after missing the last two days of practice with an illness. Perhaps he should have stayed on the bus. In the third quarter, Butler threw a punch at Colts tight end Jack Doyle after the whistle.
As you might expect, Butler was immediately ejected from the game.
While he was on his way to the locker room, Butler flipped off the crowd.
It’s a bad look for Butler and not the first incident.
While he has played relatively well this season after Kawann Short and Dontari Poe wound up on injured reserve, intangibles will count against him a great deal when it comes time to sign a new deal this offseason, whether it’s with the Panthers or another team.
Indianapolis leads 24-3.
