Bo Melton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Should be healthy for OTAs Melton (ankle) said he is expected to need roughly one month to recover from the injury he suffered Week 18 and may have been a candidate to return to action had Green Bay advanced...

Impact Melton declined to speculate on whether he'll enter the 2026 offseason working primarily at cornerback or wide receiver, but he noted that he expects to have that discussion with the Packers' coaching staff. He was moved to cornerback last offseason but contributed mostly as a backup receiver for Green Bay during the 2025 campaign. Melton will be a restricted free agent this offseason, giving the Packers the right to match any contract offers he receivers from other teams or potentially receive draft pick compensation should he sign elsewhere.

Being placed on IR The Packers are placing Melton (knee) on injured reserve, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reported Wednesday.

Impact The loss of Melton is a significant blow to a Packers squad that has suffered consistent injuries to its wide receiver corps and secondary. The recent claiming of Trevon Diggs from the Cowboys should make up for Melton's absence at cornerback, but with Savion Williams (foot) on IR and Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Bears, it remains to be seen what the team will do with its current receiving depth.

Impact Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Melton sustained the injury while making a tackle on punt coverage. Rookie Matthew Golden and practice squad wideout Jakobie Keeney-James are in line for more snaps on offense for as long as Melton is out of the game.

Available Saturday Melton (illness) is listed as active Saturday versus the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Melton wasn't able to practice at all during Week 17 prep due to an illness, but despite being listed as questionable ahead of the weekend, he'll be available to a Packers offense that will be led by QB Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) instead of Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion). Melton will be in the mix for snaps and targets alongside WRs Christian Watson (shoulder/illness), Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks with Savion Williams (foot/illness) inactive.

Questionable to play Saturday Melton (illness) is questionable to play Saturday versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Impact Melton was added to the injury report with an illness Tuesday, and his status for Week 17 is now up in the air. The 26-year-old splits his time between offense, defense and special teams, making his potential absence multi-faceted.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Melton was a non-participant in practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Impact Melton first popped up on the injury report Tuesday when he was estimated as a DNP for the Packers' walkthrough. With another DNP designation for the team's first padded practice of the week Wednesday, there may be some concern about Melton's availability for Saturday's matchup against Baltimore. If Melton can't practice in some capacity Thursday, he'll almost certainly get an injury designation for the contest against the Ravens.

Deemed DNP for walkthrough Tuesday Melton is dealing with an illness and was estimated as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Melton played in Saturday's overtime loss to Chicago and logged one snap on offense along with nine snaps on special teams. There was no word prior to the contest that he was dealing with an illness, so his reduced offensive workload may simply have been a coaching decision in a game with high stakes. Green Bay plays on Saturday again this week (versus Baltimore), and Melton will likely need to practice in some capacity by Thursday to have a chance of avoiding an injury designation for that game.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No receptions in Week 15 Melton failed to corral his lone target while playing nine of the Packers' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

Impact After hauling in a deep ball from Jordan Love for a 45-yard touchdown in the Packers' Week 14 win over the Bears, Melton was held quiet Sunday during his limited time on the field. Green Bay listed fellow wideouts Christian Watson (chest/shoulder) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) as non-participant Tuesday on its first Week 16 practice report, so Melton could be in line for a slight uptick in snaps if either or both players aren't available for Saturday's rematch with the Bears in Chicago.

Brings in deep target for TD in Week 14 Melton played nine of the Packers' 53 snaps on offense and recorded a 45-yard touchdown reception on two targets in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears.

Impact Green Bay converted Melton to defensive back in the offseason, but the 26-year-old has been seeing more usage on offense in recent weeks in addition to serving as a core player on special tams. He made his biggest play of the season in the Week 14 victory over Chicago, hauling in a deep pass from Jordan Love late in the second quarter to give Green Bay a 14-3 lead. The Packers didn't have Savion Williams (foot) available for a second straight game Sunday, and Matthew Golden was also limited to just five snaps against the Bears due to a wrist injury, so despite delivering a splash play in the Week 14 win, Melton could see his snaps on offense take a hit once Green Bay is back to full strength at receiver.
