Impact Melton entered concussion protocols following Arizona's Week 1 loss to Buffalo. He started as a DNP on Wednesday, but he finished the week as a full participant in Friday's session, and he is good to go for Sunday's NFC West showdown.

Could play Sunday Melton (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Melton sustained a concussion during the Cardinals' Week 1 loss, but after a full practice session Friday, he's got a chance to suit up Sunday. The rookie likely still hasn't passed concussion protocol with a neurologist test if he's listed as questionable. Kei'Trel Clark projects to see more work in Arizona's secondary if Melton doesn't clear protocol by the time of Sunday's contest.

Impact Melton sustained a concussion at some point during Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills. He finished that contest with two tackles while playing 27 snaps (17 on special teams, 10 on defense).
