Packers' Bo Melton: Cleared to return
Melton (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, per the CBS Sports broadcast.
Melton briefly left Sunday's game due to cramping, but he was back in the game in the fourth quarter and returned a kickoff for 19 yards. Most of Melton's playing time this year figures to be on special teams as a returner.

Packers' Bo Melton: Exits game with cramps
Melton (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Melton hauled in his lone target for 10 yards and turned three kickoff returns into 105 yards prior to his exit. Kaleb Johnson figures to be the primary returner on kickoffs if Melton is not cleared to return.

Packers' Bo Melton: Elevated for Week 1
The Packers elevated Melton from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Melton is all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Vikings as a temporary replacement for Savion Williams (ankle) as he recovers from his injury on IR. Melton played in 16 regular-season games for the Packers in 2025, catching four passes for 107 yards and a touchdown. The wide receiver also played 186 special teams snaps, making him a versatile elevation for the Week 1 divisional showdown.

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

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

Packers' Bo Melton: Signs tender with Green Bay
Melton (knee) signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Packers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Melton is set to receive $1.145 million in 2026 after playing 16 regular-season contests for the Packers in 2025. The wide receiver and special teams piece suffered a knee injury at the end of the 2025 regular season, but he's healthy and ready to go for the start of the 2026 offseason.

Packers' Bo Melton: Should be healthy for OTAs
Melton (ankle) said he is expected to need roughly one month to recover from the injury he suffered Week 18 and may have been a candidate to return to action had Green Bay advanced to Super Bowl LX, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Melton declined to speculate on whether he'll enter the 2026 offseason working primarily at cornerback or wide receiver, but he noted that he expects to have that discussion with the Packers' coaching staff. He was moved to cornerback last offseason but contributed mostly as a backup receiver for Green Bay during the 2025 campaign. Melton will be a restricted free agent this offseason, giving the Packers the right to match any contract offers he receives from other teams or potentially receive draft pick compensation should he sign elsewhere.

Packers' Bo Melton: Being placed on IR
The Packers are placing Melton (knee) on injured reserve, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reported Wednesday.
The loss of Melton is a significant blow to a Packers squad that has suffered consistent injuries to its wide receiver corps and secondary. The recent claiming of Trevon Diggs from the Cowboys should make up for Melton's absence at cornerback, but with Savion Williams (foot) on IR and Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Bears, it remains to be seen what the team will do with its current receiving depth.

Packers' Bo Melton: Exits game with knee injury
Melton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Melton sustained the injury while making a tackle on punt coverage. Rookie Matthew Golden and practice squad wideout Jakobie Keeney-James are in line for more snaps on offense for as long as Melton is out of the game.

Packers' Bo Melton: Available Saturday
Melton (illness) is listed as active Saturday versus the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Melton wasn't able to practice at all during Week 17 prep due to an illness, but despite being listed as questionable ahead of the weekend, he'll be available to a Packers offense that will be led by QB Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) instead of Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion). Melton will be in the mix for snaps and targets alongside WRs Christian Watson (shoulder/illness), Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks, with Savion Williams (foot/illness) inactive.

Packers' Bo Melton: Questionable to play Saturday
Melton (illness) is questionable to play Saturday versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.
Melton was added to the injury report with an illness Tuesday, and his status for Week 17 is now up in the air. The 26-year-old splits his time between offense, defense and special teams, so an absence would have a multi-faceted impact.

Packers' Bo Melton: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Melton was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an illness.
Melton first popped up on the injury report Tuesday when he was estimated as a DNP for the Packers' walkthrough. With another DNP designation for the team's first padded practice of the week Wednesday, there may be some concern about Melton's availability for Saturday's matchup against Baltimore. If Melton can't practice in some capacity Thursday, he'll almost certainly get an injury designation for the contest against the Ravens.

Packers' Bo Melton: Deemed DNP for walkthrough Tuesday
Melton is dealing with an illness and was estimated as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Melton played in Saturday's overtime loss to Chicago and logged one snap on offense along with nine snaps on special teams. There was no word prior to the contest that he was dealing with an illness, so his reduced offensive workload may simply have been a coaching decision in a game with high stakes. Green Bay plays on Saturday again this week (versus Baltimore), and Melton will likely need to practice in some capacity by Thursday to have a chance of avoiding an injury designation for that game.

Packers' Bo Melton: No receptions in Week 15
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.

Packers' Bo Melton: Brings in deep target for TD in Week 14
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.

Packers' Bo Melton: Clear for Sunday
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.
