Opts out of season
Melvin has opted out of the 2020 NFL season, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Melvin, who is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he recorded a career-high 68 tackles in 13 games with the Lions, was expected to add depth and experience to the Jaguars' cornerback corps this coming season. He becomes the team's third player to opt out, joining fellow defenders Al Woods and Lerentee McCray.

Joins Jacksonville secondary
Melvin has agreed to one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 30-year-old is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he recorded a career-high 68 tackles in 13 games with the Lions. The 6-foot-2, 194-pounder -- who is now slated to play for his seventh NFL team -- will add depth and experience to the Jaguars' cornerback corps this coming season.

New career high in tackles
Melvin racked up 68 tackles and 11 pass breakups over 13 games in 2019.
Analysis: Playing opposite stud cornerback Darius Slay, Melvin was picked on frequently this season. This was great news from a fantasy perspective, considering it helped the 30-year-old finished the year ranked in the top five in tackles among all cornerbacks. From a real-life perspective, the Lions were probably hoping fifth-round rookie Amani Oruwariye would have taken the starting job away from the aging veteran at some point. Even though that never happened, it seems very likely that Detroit will…read more

Gains medical clearence
Melvin (ribs) will play in Sunday's divisional matchup against Minnesota.
Analysis: Melvin had missed the last two games with the rib issue but, as evidenced by this news, finally will return to the field. With the 30-year-old healthy, he's expected to operate as the team's No. 3 cornerback for Week 14.

Chance to play Week 14
Melvin (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Th 30-year-old sat out the last two games due to the rib issue but may be able to return Sunday after working as a limited practice participant all week. Amani Oruwariye is in line to receive another start should Melvin be unable to suit up.

Limited during Wednesday's practice
Melvin (ribs) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Melvin is hoping to avoid missing a third straight contest but being limited at Wednesday's practice indicates he could be forced to sit yet again. He'll be hoping to increase his practice reps over the next couple of days. If Melvin is unable to face the Vikings on Sunday, Amani Oruwariye will continue seeing an increased workload.

Won't play against Bears
Melvin (ribs) is ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bears.
Analysis: Melvin popped up on the injury report last Friday, and he'll miss a second straight game due to the injury. Amani Oruwariye logged a 76-percent snap share in Melvin's stead Week 12, and the Lions will likely roll with a similar game plan in this contest.

Unable to practice
Melvin (ribs) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Melvin was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Redskins, and he hasn't practiced yet this week. The 30-year-old cornerback is in danger of missing his second straight contest, and Jamal Agnew (ankle) is trending in a similar direction. Dee Virgin and Mike Ford could see an increase in duties if that's the case.

Inactive for Week 12
Melvin (ribs) is inactive for the Detroit's Week 12 matchup against the Redskins.
Analysis: Melvin was added to the injury report Friday, so it appears he picked up the injury during the week of practice. His absence will leave the Lions shorthanded in the secondary, as Jamal Agnew (ankle) has also been ruled out. As a result, Dee Virgin and Mike Ford will see more playing time than usual.

Listed as questionable
Melvin is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington due to a ribs injury.
Analysis: Melvin was a surprise addition to Friday's injury report, indicating that he may have picked up his ribs injury during weekly practices. With Jamal Agnew (ankle) also ruled out, Dee Virgin and Mike Ford would likely play increased reserve roles if Melvin were forced to miss any time.

Season high in tackles
Melvin racked up nine tackles and one pass breakup during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Melvin had a good day in the stat sheet, but he was beat numerous times on a variety of routes and was also flagged for another defensive holding call. That doesn't matter for fantasy, though, and it might even be a good thing if quarterbacks continue to pick on him, which could certainly continue to be the case as long as Darius Slay stays healthy.
