Packers Sign Bo Melton To The Active Roster, Samori Toure To IR
11 months ago
The Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Bo Melton from the practice squad to their active 53-man roster on Monday and placed Samori Toure (knee) in a corresponding move. The team also signed safety Tyler Coyle to the practice squad. Green Bay is extremely thin at the receiver position heading into the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. Christian Watson (hamstring) and rookie Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) did not play in the Sunday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and rookie Jayden Reed (ribs) was injured during the game and is up in the air to play this Sunday. The 24-year-old Melton broke out with six catches for 105 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota and also had four grabs for 44 yards in the Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers. If Watson, Wicks and Reed all miss Week 18, Melton will be a worthwhile streaming consideration in fantasy leagues.
