Prescott underwent season-ending surgery to repair a partial avulsion of his hamstring tendon last week.
Cooper Rush makes his second straight start under center Monday when the Cowboys (3-6) host the Texans (6-4).
Butler, 27, has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster in each of the past two games. The former USFL player made his NFL debut in Week 9 and has recorded one tackle while playing nine snaps on defense and 22 on special teams.
