Packers release then re-sign WR Bo Melton to practice squad

The Green Bay Packers released wide receiver Bo Melton, then quickly signed him to their practice squad, per Adam Schefter. Melton is likely to be back on the active roster soon.

Fantasy takeaway

Melton was a depth piece in Green Bay's receiver room. His brief release and swift return to the practice squad suggest the team views him as a roster-level talent worth retaining. Fantasy managers should monitor his status for a potential return to the active roster, though he remains a depth play with minimal redraft impact. Dynasty managers carrying him should hold for now.
