Big news from Utah practice.
Kylie Fitts out for the year. Joe Williams is retiring from football. Butler Byrd reinstated— Jon La Follette (@BigFrench_) September 13, 2016
Back in August, Butler-Byrd was temporarily reinstated to the team. That allowed him to practice with the Utes, but now he has the go-ahead to rejoin the team on the field for gameday.
Butler-Byrd was suspended following an arrest for criminal mischief for damaging a University of Utah police building and vehicle on campus. He latere agreed to a plea deal. The charge will be dropped as part of his plea deal as long as he avoids any further run-ins with the law and attends counseling.
Utah returns to action this weekend with a road game against San Jose State. Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET on the CBS Sports Network as the Utes look to advance to 3-0 on the season.
