Impact Melton exited last Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a knee injury but was able to log three limited practices this week. He entered the weekend deemed questionable to play but will ultimately be able to suit up as one of the Cardinals' starting cornerbacks for Sunday's NFC West battle between 2-0 teams.

Done for day Melton (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Melton was carted to the locker room with a knee injury in the first half, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. The cornerback compiled two solo tackles before his departure, and in his place, Denzel Burke will likely continue to see an increase in workload in Arizona's secondary.

Carted to locker room Melton is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a knee injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Melton spent an extended amount of time in the blue medical tent before being carted to the locker room, where he'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of his knee injury. Assuming Melton doesn't return, Denzel Burke will likely see more work at outside corner opposite Will Johnson for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Myles Garrett to the Lions? Ideal landings spots for 8 NFL stars on the trading block

Heavy usage in rookie season Melton played all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 51 tackles (36 solo), five pass defenses and one forced fumble.

Impact Melton was one of seven rookies selected by the Cardinals during the 2024 NFL Draft, and the second-round cornerback out of Rutgers was arguably the most consistent. He finished third among Arizona's corners in combined tackles behind Garrett Williams (58) and Sean Murphy-Bunting (52). In addition to seeing heavy snaps with the Cardinals' first-team defense, Melton showed his value and versatility by serving as a gunner on special teams. Melton and fellow rookie corner Elijah Jones (ankle) will have an opportunity to earn a larger role in the Cardinals' defense in the offseason during OTAs, minicamp and training camp.
