Cardinals' Max Melton: Good to go vs. Rams
Melton (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Melton entered concussion protocols following Arizona's Week 1 loss to Buffalo. He started as a DNP on Wednesday, but he finished the week as a full participant in Friday's session, and he is good to go for Sunday's NFC West showdown. Melton played 27 snaps (10 on defense, 17 on special teams) and registered two solo tackles against the Bills in Week 1.

Cardinals' Max Melton: Could play Sunday
Melton (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Melton sustained a concussion during the Cardinals' Week 1 loss, but after a full practice session Friday, he has a chance to suit up Sunday. The rookie likely still hasn't passed concussion protocol with a neurological test since he's listed as questionable. Kei'Trel Clark projects to see more work in Arizona's secondary if Melton doesn't clear protocol in time for Sunday's contest.

Melton (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Melton entered concussion protocols following Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills. He wasn't able to practice Wednesday, but his limited participation Thursday indicates he's working his way through the league's protocols. Melton's practice participation Friday should provide clarity on his status for Week 2 against the Rams.

Cardinals' Max Melton: Does not practice Wednesday
Melton (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Melton sustained a concussion at some point during Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills. He finished that contest with two tackles while playing 27 snaps (17 on special teams, 10 on defense). The rookie second-round pick will continue to work through the league's concussion protocols during the week, and his practice participation Thursday and Friday will indicate his chance of playing against the Rams on Sunday.

Cardinals' Max Melton: In concussion protocol
Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Monday that Melton is in concussion protocol, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The rookie corner made his NFL debut Sunday and recorded two total tackles on 27 total snaps (17 on special teams and 10 defensive), but considering Gannon's comments, it appears Melton sustained a concussion at some point. Melton's practice participation will be something to monitor as the week progresses, and if he's forced to miss time, expect Kei'Trel Clark and Darren Hall to see more work in Arizona's secondary.

Cardinals' Max Melton: Heads to Arizona in second round
The Cardinals selected Melton in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 43rd overall.
Brother of Bo Melton, Max Melton plays on the other side of the ball and was a terror in the Rutgers secondary for four years. He leaves Piscataway with eight career interceptions and 30 career pass breakups. Melton possesses sub-4.4 speed (4.39) and has the physicality to play press-man coverage at the next level. He has a chance to start either as a nickel or outside as a rookie.
