Out for Week 10 Melton (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The 23-year-old from Rutgers was unable to clear concussion protocol in time to play in Week 10. He's operated as one of the Cardinals' top boundary cornerbacks this season, recording 26 total tackles and four passes defended across seven appearances. With Melton and Will Johnson (back) both sidelined Sunday, Denzel Burke and Elijah Jones are expected to start as Arizona's top outside corners.

Done for Week 9 Melton (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against Dallas.

Impact Melton was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter and was officially ruled out late in the third period. During his time in the game, he logged four tackles (three solo).

Possible concussion Melton is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Active versus Colts Melton (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Impact After being a limited participant in practice all week, Melton is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Melton has logged 216 defensive snaps for the team this season, recording 14 total tackles and three passes defended, but was sorely missed in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. With Will Johnson (groin) also active, Arizona will be the healthiest they've been in the secondary in some time.

Questionable to face Indianapolis Melton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Melton has been limited in practice all week due to a hamstring injury. He was unable to play against the Titans in Week 5, but the 2024 second-rounder has a chance to make his return against the Colts, though his official status may not be known until the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Kei'Trel Clark could be deployed at outside corner opposite Will Johnson if Melton is not cleared to return.

Dealing with hamstring issue Melton (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Impact Melton practiced in full all week, but it now appears he's sustained a hamstring injury that could sidelined him in Week 5. The second-year corner has tallied 14 total tackles and three passes defended through Arizona's first four games this season. If he's forced to miss Sunday's contest, Elijah Jones is likely to see increased work with the Cardinals' first-team defense.
