Max Melton: Everything you need to know

Melton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Rams. Melton was a full participant at practice throughout the week as he continues to nurse a heel injury, but he'll now ultimately take a seat in Week 18. In his absence, Jaden Davis is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Los Angeles.

Melton (heel) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Melton has been officially cleared to return Sunday from a four-game absence due to a heel injury, and he'll likely join Will Johnson as the Cardinals' two starting outside corners. Prior to his absence, Melton logged 31 tackles (21 solo) and five pass defenses across nine regular-season games.

Melton (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Melton has missed the last four games due to a heel injury, but he has a chance to return for Week 17 after logging three consecutive limited practices. Will Johnson (thumb/chest) is also listed as questionable, so Denzel Burke and Darren Hall would be the top candidates to start at outside corner if one or both of Johnson and Melton were to be ruled out.
