Revel, the team’s third-round pick, says he's moving well and working closely with the training staff.

00:00are the cowboys getting corner help sooner rather than later sure appears to be that way with some
00:21optimistic timelines shared by brian schottenheimer over the weekend at cowboys rookie
00:24minicamp uh josh butler who was one of the i think the positive uplifting stories in the second half
00:33of last year the guy who was like a 29 year old rookie and had just grinded to do everything he
00:39could to hang around the nfl got an opportunity to play with the cowboys had some good games
00:43made a difference for him down the stretch when they were winning games and then it all ended in
00:47just a devastating fashion when he ended up uh suffering a knee injury at the end of last year
00:52uh his rehab is going along a lot better than was initially anticipated it sounds like um the new
00:59timeline according to brian schottenheimer is that he could potentially josh butler be on pup
01:03physically unable to perform at the start of camp he said it's really early still right now but he's
01:08doing great in his rehab he's here every day he was one of the first ones here one of the last ones
01:12to leave and so josh butler who they were kind of excited about in terms of what he was showing on
01:16the field for them uh that would be a really quick turnaround if he was going to be able to be ready
01:21within the pup window which would be first six weeks or so of the season uh because he tore his
01:26acl on thanksgiving and you remember we're you know a lot of people felt like michael gallup was rushed
01:31back too quick when he was hurt around the same time yeah um so if josh butler's able to be if he's
01:36able to get healthy and be ready for the first six weeks of the season that helps a lot with the
01:42questions about trayvon diggs and about where savon revel their third round pick out of eastern carolina
