Cardinals' Max Melton: Out for Week 10
Melton (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The 23-year-old from Rutgers was unable to clear concussion protocol in time to play in Week 10. He's operated as one of the Cardinals' top boundary cornerbacks this season, recording 26 total tackles and four passes defended across seven appearances. With Melton and Will Johnson (back) both sidelined Sunday, Denzel Burke and Elijah Jones are expected to start as Arizona's top outside corners.

Melton (concussion) was estimated to be a nonparticipant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official website reports.
Melton suffered a concussion in the team's 27-17 win over the Cowboys in Week 9, and he has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice this week, and he will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play Sunday in Seattle.

Cardinals' Max Melton: Active versus Colts
Melton (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.
After being a limited participant in practice all week, Melton is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Melton has logged 216 defensive snaps for the team this season, recording 14 total tackles and three passes defended, but was sorely missed in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. With Will Johnson (groin) also active, Arizona will be the healthiest they've been in the secondary in some time.

Cardinals' Max Melton: Questionable to face Indianapolis
Melton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Melton has been limited in practice all week due to a hamstring injury. He was unable to play against the Titans in Week 5, but the 2024 second-rounder has a chance to make his return against the Colts, though his official status may not be known until the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Kei'Trel Clark could be deployed at outside corner opposite Will Johnson if Melton is not cleared to return.
