Detroit Holds Onto Valuable Win: 3 Takeaways From The Lions' Win Over The Packers

Set for Sunday Melton (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact Melton logged just one limited session during Week 7 prep. The wide receiver's Friday upgrade to limited after consecutive DNPs appears to have been enough to green-light the No. 4 option for Sunday's divisional bout with the Lions.

Iffy for Week 7 Melton (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Melton opened Week 7 prep with back-to-back DNP's, but his limited session Friday was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Sunday's NFC North tilt. Savion Williams would see an uptick on both offense and special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts if Melton cannot play against Detroit.

No practice Thursday Melton (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Melton did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to a back injury that likely occurred in the Packers' win over the Cowboys in Week 6. The 27-year-old will likely need to practice in some capacity to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Lions.

Nursing back injury Melton (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Melton may have tweaked his back during the Packers' Week 6 win against the Cowboys, when he played 34 snaps (18 on offense, 16 on special teams) and drew a 37-yard pass interference penalty late in the second quarter before adding a tackle on kickoff coverage. He'll have two more practices to increase his participation to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Sees uptick in offensive snaps vs. Atlanta Melton logged 21 of 66 offensive snaps during Thursday's 35-14 loss to the Falcons but did not catch his only target. He also recorded two tackles and turned two kickoff returns in...

Impact Melton played a total of 42 snaps Thursday, split evenly between special teams and offense, and his offensive snap count was fourth-most among Packer wide receivers. Despite the spike in playing time, Melton shouldn't factor into the Packers' offensive game plan unless a larger role opens up for the 2022 seventh-rounder due to the absence of one or multiple wide receivers.

Cleared to return Melton (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, per the CBS Sports broadcast.

Cut, but expected back on practice squad The Packers released Melton on Friday.

Impact Because Melton is a vested veteran and not subject to waivers at this point in the season, he's expected to sign back on Green Bay's practice squad, from which the team will be able to elevate him Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota. Through three NFL campaigns, the wide receiver has posted a combined 28-416-2 line on 54 targets in 38 regular-season contests.

SEPTEMBER 4 • PACKERS.COM

Quiet in preseason finale Melton did not catch either of his targets in Friday's preseason win over Arizona.

Impact The Packers held most of their key players out of the contest, so Melton's inclusion in the game could indicate that he's not an absolute lock to make the 53-man roster. If that's the case, it may not help that undrafted rookie J. Michael Sturdivant broke out a 6-112-1 receiving line Friday, though it's generally unwise to read too deeply into preseason performances. Still, Melton had a pretty poor exhibition slate, catching just two of seven targets for 14 yards. Melton worked often as a kick returner last season, but free-agent signee Skyy Moore appears set to take over that role in 2026. The odds still seem to be in favor of Melton surviving cutdown day, and if he does, he'll likely work mostly on special teams during the regular season.
