Packers WR Bo Melton sees ample special teams snaps, makes key block vs. Bengals

With the sixth roster spot at wide receiver up for grabs on the Green Bay Packers depth chart, the preseason opener provided a reminder of Bo Melton, who saw his share of playing time on special teams and made a key block in the run game on a scoring play.

During the Cincinnati game, Melton had just one reception for three yards, but he ended up playing 12 special teams snaps and did so on a few different phases, including the kick return, kick coverage, and punt return units. He ended up being on the field for 38% of all special teams snaps — the fifth-highest rate on the team.
