    Melvin (head) will not return Sunday against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Melvin was playing an increased role Sunday with Stephon Gilmore on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With Melvin sidelined for the rest of the game, Keith Taylor and Myles Hartsfield will likely be looking at extra opportunities.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Melvin (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Melvin sat out of the Panthers' Week 10 win over the Cardinals, but he appears healthy and ready to return to action in Week 11. In six appearances this season, the veteran cornerback has played 112 defensive snaps and recorded 12 tackles.

  • Sitting out against Arizona

    Melvin (hand) won't play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Melvin's not ready to return from the hand injury that forced him out of Carolina's Week 9 loss to the Patriots. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 11 against Washington.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Signed to active roster

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Melvin reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Friday.

    Analysis: Melvin was elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's Week 3 matchup against Houston, and he recorded four tackles (three solo) while playing 29 defensive snaps. Although the 31-year-old will head back to the practice squad for now, he'll be an option to serve as depth in the secondary since Jaycee Horn (foot) is expected to miss several months.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Joins Carolina's practice squad

    The Panthers signed Melvin to their practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After opting out of the 2020 season, Melvin suffered a groin injury during training camp that ultimately led to his release. The Panthers have now elected to bring the 31-year-old back via a practice squad contract.

  • Released by Carolina

    The Panthers released Melvin (groin) on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Heading to Carolina

    The Panthers signed Melvin to a one-year deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After being released by the Jaguars on Thursday, Melvin -- who opted out of the 2020 NFL season -- will look to secure a key role in the Panthers' secondary. The 31-year-old cornerback last suited up in 2019, when he tallied a career-high 68 tackles through 13 games with Detroit.

  • Let go by Jacksonville

    Melvin was released by the Jaguars on Thursday.

    Analysis: Prior to opting out of the 2020 season, Melvin's played in the league for seven years, during which he served as a starting cornerback for a handful of teams. The 31-year-old hasn't suited since 2019, where he recorded a career-high in tackles (68) and broke up 11 passes through 13 games. Melvin will aim to compete for a cornerback role elsewhere in 2021.

    Analysis: Melvin, who is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he recorded a career-high 68 tackles in 13 games with the Lions, was expected to add depth and experience to the Jaguars' cornerback corps this coming season. He becomes the team's third player to opt out, joining fellow defenders Al Woods and Lerentee McCray.

  • New career high in tackles

    Melvin racked up 68 tackles and 11 pass breakups over 13 games in 2019.

    Analysis: Playing opposite stud cornerback Darius Slay, Melvin was picked on frequently this season. This was great news from a fantasy perspective, considering it helped the 30-year-old finished the year ranked in the top five in tackles among all cornerbacks. From a real-life perspective, the Lions were probably hoping fifth-round rookie Amani Oruwariye would have taken the starting job away from the aging veteran at some point. Even though that never happened, it seems very likely that Detroit will…read more

  • Gains medical clearence

    Melvin (ribs) will play in Sunday's divisional matchup against Minnesota.

    Analysis: Melvin had missed the last two games with the rib issue but, as evidenced by this news, finally will return to the field. With the 30-year-old healthy, he's expected to operate as the team's No. 3 cornerback for Week 14.

  • Chance to play Week 14

    Melvin (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Th 30-year-old sat out the last two games due to the rib issue but may be able to return Sunday after working as a limited practice participant all week. Amani Oruwariye is in line to receive another start should Melvin be unable to suit up.

  • Limited during Wednesday's practice

    Melvin (ribs) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Melvin is hoping to avoid missing a third straight contest but being limited at Wednesday's practice indicates he could be forced to sit yet again. He'll be hoping to increase his practice reps over the next couple of days. If Melvin is unable to face the Vikings on Sunday, Amani Oruwariye will continue seeing an increased workload.

  • Won't play against Bears

    Melvin (ribs) is ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bears.

    Analysis: Melvin popped up on the injury report last Friday, and he'll miss a second straight game due to the injury. Amani Oruwariye logged a 76-percent snap share in Melvin's stead Week 12, and the Lions will likely roll with a similar game plan in this contest.

  • Unable to practice

    Melvin (ribs) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Melvin was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Redskins, and he hasn't practiced yet this week. The 30-year-old cornerback is in danger of missing his second straight contest, and Jamal Agnew (ankle) is trending in a similar direction. Dee Virgin and Mike Ford could see an increase in duties if that's the case.

  • Inactive for Week 12

    Melvin (ribs) is inactive for the Detroit's Week 12 matchup against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Melvin was added to the injury report Friday, so it appears he picked up the injury during the week of practice. His absence will leave the Lions shorthanded in the secondary, as Jamal Agnew (ankle) has also been ruled out. As a result, Dee Virgin and Mike Ford will see more playing time than usual.

  • Listed as questionable

    Melvin is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington due to a ribs injury.

    Analysis: Melvin was a surprise addition to Friday's injury report, indicating that he may have picked up his ribs injury during weekly practices. With Jamal Agnew (ankle) also ruled out, Dee Virgin and Mike Ford would likely play increased reserve roles if Melvin were forced to miss any time.

  • Season high in tackles

    Melvin racked up nine tackles and one pass breakup during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Melvin had a good day in the stat sheet, but he was beat numerous times on a variety of routes and was also flagged for another defensive holding call. That doesn't matter for fantasy, though, and it might even be a good thing if quarterbacks continue to pick on him, which could certainly continue to be the case as long as Darius Slay stays healthy.
