CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders have brought back veteran defensive back Quincy Butler following the conclusion of his legal problems.
The Stampeders suspended Butler in May when he was charged with two counts of assault stemming from an incident near a Calgary casino earlier that month.
Butler pleaded guilty to one charge of assault causing bodily harm in Calgary court last week and was sentenced to 18 months probation.
Calgary added the 32-year-old from San Antonio, Texas, to the their practice roster.
"After meeting with Quincy, I know he is genuinely remorseful for what he has done," Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel said Thursday in a statement.
"I think Quincy deserves a chance to prove himself as a person and as a football player. It's all up to him now."
