Max Melton — Out
There was optimism that Melton would be cleared to play, but the third-year defensive back will be sidelined by a knee issue and observe Sunday's game in street clothes. Kalen King is in line for more defensive snaps due to the absence of Melton, whose next chance to play is Week 8 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 1.
Max Melton — Questionable
Melton missed the last two practices of the week while tending to a knee injury, but head coach Mike LaFleur said Friday that the third-year defensive back is "trending in a positive direction" ahead of Sunday's game, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. Kalen King would see more defensive snaps if Melton does not play against Denver.
Max Melton — Questionable
Melton popped up on the Cardinals' injury report with a knee issue Wednesday, but he was at least able to practice in a limited capacity at that point. Now, he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game versus the Broncos, and he'll probably have to practice again Friday to put himself back on track to suit up in Week 7.
Max Melton — Active
Melton logged back-to-back limited practices to end Week 3 prep and draw the questionable tag, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The third-year pro has four tackles (two solo) and two pass defenses through two regular-season games.
