The Green Bay Packers have added receiver Bo Melton back to the team's 53-man active roster after moving him down to the practice squad late last week. Melton was released due to his status as a vested veteran for the purposes of termination pay, but he was called up for Sunday's action against the Minnesota Vikings.

Melton recalled to 53-man roster after salary-driven demotion; active for Vikings game.

Bo Melton was moved back to the Packers' 53-man active roster after being demoted to the practice squad late the previous week. The demotion was a salary cap maneuver: as a vested veteran, Melton would have been owed his full 2026 minimum salary if on the 53-man roster in Week 1, but by moving him to the practice squad, the Packers eliminated his guaranteed termination pay and salary claim rights. He was called up for Week 2 action against the Minnesota Vikings, filling one of Green Bay's two open practice squad spots after his promotion.
