The Green Bay Packers are well aware of the stakes on Sunday night. If they win, they will have a legitimate shot at making the playoffs this season. If you lose, you might as well start planning your 2024 draft boards. Both Minnesota and Green Bay have had to deal with a lot this season.
Injuries were a major factor in the Packers’ decision to bring in a lightning-quick wide receiver to replace Jordan Love.
The Green Bay Packers add a lightning-quick wide receiver to their 53-man roster before of their game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Green Bay Packers promoted practice squad receiver Bo Melton to the active roster in Week 17. Melton will be available for the Packers’ Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, according to Matt LaFleur.
As expected, Christian Watson (hamstring doubtful) will not play and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle questionable) did not practice all week. After catching five passes and producing four first downs over the last two games, Melton has earned more playing time. With a career-high reception performance last week, Melton delivered multiple key conversions against the Carolina Panthers.
He is the seventh Packers player this season to be lifted from the practice squad three times.
Fans React To Melton Being Activated For Their Matchup Against Minnesota
Last week, receivers coach Jason Vrable lauded Melton’s growth in the 2023 season:
“He’s done a tremendous job on special teams in practice, and he’s doing a great job on scout team, and every time I give him a rep, speaking of Bo, he would go out there and make a play at practice with Jordan.”
Fans were likewise thrilled to see Melton given another shot:
