Doesn't return after injuring hand Melvin (hand) left Sunday's contest against the Patriots early and never returned, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Melvin registered three tackles (two solo) before leaving the Panthers' Week 9 matchup with the Patriots early. It's unclear if the injury is significant enough to impact his availability for Week 10.

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to active roster The Panthers signed Melvin to their active roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Melvin was elevated -- for the second time -- to the active roster ahead of Thursday's contest against the Texans, and he did enough to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. The 31-year-old will operate as a depth option while Jaycee Horn (foot) remains sidelined. The Panthers also executed a trade to acquire CJ Henderson, so Melvin's role may decrease slightly when the newcomer gets fully acclimated to Carolina's defensive schemes.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Bumping up to active roster The Panthers are elevating Melvin from the practice squad for Thursday's contest against the Texans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Melvin has now reached the two-time season limit for standard elevations from the practice squad, meaning the Panthers will have to sign him to the 53-man roster if he's to log any more appearances.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Carolina The Panthers released Melvin on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact After opting out of the 2020-21 season, Melvin joined Carolina expecting to compete for a starting cornerback role. The 31-year-old injured his groin in the Panthers' preseason finale and is slated to miss time. In the end, strong cornerback play in training camp from A.J. Bouye and Keith Taylor led to Melvin getting released.

Injures groin during Friday's game Melvin didn't return after injuring his groin during Friday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Melvin's injury is worrisome for the Panthers as they are already limited at cornerback with A.J. Bouye suspended for the first two games of the season. Keith Taylor and Stantley Thomas-Oliver will likely be the primary backups if Melvin is forced to miss time.
