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. 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-participants 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.

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. 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 teams. 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.

Melton (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't carry a Week 12 injury designation, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.comreports. Melton was added to the injury report Thursday after logging a limited practice, but he is ready to go for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings. The 26-year-old should be expected to participate on special teams and at cornerback, as he has throughout the season.

Melton (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday. Melton is one of six wide receivers listed as a limited participant on Green Bay's practice report Thursday, though his contributions usually come on special teams and defense (as a cornerback). The dual-position depth option will work to upgrade his activity level at practice Friday, with the goal of gaining clearance for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Melton does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns. Melton suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 and was unable to suit up in Week 2. However, he practiced all week, including a full session Friday, and should be ready to take on Cleveland on Sunday.
