Works on side Thursday
Tonyan (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, but he did work without pads and with a trainer on the side, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tonyan seemed to favor his right leg and even left Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay for a spell, but he ended Week 6 with multiple catches (three) for the fourth consecutive contest. While he hasn't joined his teammates in drills this week, he ability to get in some work indicates he may be able to gut out his ankle injury this weekend. Friday's practice report may give a sense of Tonyan's ability to play Sunday in Houston.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Tonyan didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Tonyan tweaked his right ankle in the Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, but he returned to the contest and finished with three catches (on four targets) for 25 yards. That seems to bode well for the starting tight end's chances of suiting up in Houston on Sunday, though he may need to upgrade to at least limited practice activity before being cleared to play.

Quiet in Week 6
Tonyan was targeted four times and caught three passes for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Tonyan briefly left Sunday's game in the second quarter after tweaking his right leg, but he returned to the contest and caught a couple passes afterward, so the injury should not threaten his availability moving forward. It may have slowed him down some, but not as much as a Buccaneers defense that put the clamps on the Packers offense for much of Sunday's contest. While Tonyan had his least-productive game of the season, he still wound up playing 16 more snaps than any of the Packers' other…read more

Catches three touchdowns
Tonyan caught all six of his targets for 98 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 30-16 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Tonyan entered Monday having scored in back-to-back games, but his three-touchdown tally was still certainly a surprise. After going for a 27-yard gain on Green Bay's second offensive play, Tonyan's next catch was a 19-yard touchdown ahead of the two-minute warning. The tight end then struck again before halftime, hauling in an eight-yarder to extend the Packers' lead. To complete his hat trick of touchdowns, Tonyan got up after being pulled down during his route to score from 21 yards midway…read more

Grabs TD in win
Tonyan secured all five of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-30 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Tonyan stuck as the top tight end option for Green Bay, seeing the field on nearly two-thirds of the team's offensive snaps for the third straight contest. The undrafted product of Indiana State saw his usage in the passing game increase for the third consecutive game as well, culminating in a career-best 50 receiving yards while finding the end zone for the second time in as many weeks. Tonyan is quietly making some noise in fantasy circles, as any starter playing alongside this rejuvenated…read more

Finds end zone in Week 2
Tonyan caught two passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Lions.
Analysis: Tonyan led Packers tight ends in snaps for the second week in a row and registered both his first receptions and score of the 2020 season. He lacks much of a track record and still is an iffy long-term option in fantasy leagues, but he does appear to be the best bet among Packers tight ends after two weeks, and he could be asked to contribute more in the passing game Week 3 if receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) -- and to a lesser degree, fellow tight end Josiah Deguara (shin) and running back…read more

Leads Packers tight ends in snaps
Tonyan led Packers tight ends in snaps but was not targeted in Sunday's 43-34 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Tonyan was on the field for 48 of the 78 plays the Packers offense ran Sunday -- 16 more than any of the team's other tight ends -- but did not draw a pass in his direction. The snap count is encouraging, but the Packers utilized all four of their tight ends to some degree and figure to continue doing so, which will make it difficult for Tonyan or any of the others to make much of a fantasy impact.

Primed for pass-catching role?
Tonyan likely will start the season as Green Bay's top receiving threat at tight end, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The role widely was viewed as Jace Sternberger's to lose, and the 2019 third-round pick may have indeed fallen behind in the competition. The 26-year-old Tonyan will likely be part of a rotation at the position, with Sternberger, Josiah Deguara and Marcedes Lewis also in the mix to earn roles. Tonyan has 14 catches in 27 regular-season games for the Packers, so there hasn't been much hint of fantasy upside during his career.

Getting work with starters
Tonyan has been taking some reps with the Packers' starting offense in practice, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Most of the discussion surrounding the Green Bay tight ends this offseason has focused on 2019 third-round pick Jace Sternberger and rookie third-round pick Josiah Deguara, but Tonyan and 36-year-old blocking specialist Marcedes Lewis also appear to be right in the mix to earn playing time. Tonyan originally caught on with the Packers' practice squad as an undrafted rookie back in 2017, and he then caught 14 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns in 27 games the past two seasons, playing more…read more

Signs tender
Tonyan (abdomen) has officially signed his exclusive-rights free agent tender from the Packers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: This was just a formality, as Tonyan was always expected to sign the tender. He is now set to compete with Jace Sternberger, veteran Marcedes Lewis and the recently drafted Josiah Deguara for snaps at tight end. The 25-year-old has worked his way up ladder since joining the organization as a member of the practice squad in 2017.

Receives tender from Green Bay
The Packers tendered a contract Tuesday to Tonyan (abdomen), an exclusive-rights free agent, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tonyan will return to Green Bay for at least another year after having initially joined the organization as a member of the practice squad in 2017. Following the departure of Jimmy Graham, the 25-year-old looks in line to handle an expanded role in the Packers' tight end corps during the 2020 campaign, along with second-year pro Jace Sternberger and veteran Marcedes Lewis. He's still recovering from core muscle surgery, which he underwent in February.

Undergoes core muscle surgery
Tonyan is recovering from core muscle surgery undergone to address an injury he played through during the 2019 season, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tonyan was forced to miss five regular-season games last year due to the injury. He hauled in 10 passes for 100 yards and one touchdown across the 11 games he did suit up for. The 25-year-old saw regular usage as Green Bay's third tight end when healthy in 2019, and he could have a shot at an expanded role in 2020 if the team opts to part ways with Jimmy Graham for salary cap reasons. Veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis is also a free agent.

Regularly used as third tight end
Tonyan appeared in 11 regular-season games for the Packers in 2019 and tallied 10 receptions on 15 targets for an even 100 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Tonyan regularly served as the Packers' No. 3 tight end before and after missing five games and most of a sixth with a hip injury suffered in Week 5. While he has caught just 14 passes over 27 games in his two professional seasons, he has shown some play-making ability, scoring twice and averaging 12.6 yards per reception. The tight end position is in flux for the Packers with Jimmy Graham a possible salary-cap casualty and Marcedes Lewis a free agent, so Tonyan could have a chance to play a…read more

One reception in victory
Tonyan was targeted twice and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Tonyan scored his first touchdown of the season Week 14, but he could not build on that Week 15. His youth in relation to veteran tight ends Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis gives him some intrigue, but he figures to remain a reserve the rest of the way and also will have to compete for snaps with fellow youngster Jace Sternberger, who totaled 14 plays Sunday to Tonyan's nine.

First touchdown this season
Tonyan caught a 12-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's victory over Washington.
Analysis: Tonyan was targeted only once Week 14 but was able to find paydirt for the first time this season. He's played a regular role since returning to action Week 12 following a five-game absence, taking the field on 31.5 percent of the offensive snaps. However, he isn't seeing the field enough nor seeing the ball thrown his direction enough to warrant much consideration in Week 15 playoff matchups.

Season-high snap count
Tonyan was targeted twice and caught two passes for eight yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Tonyan took the field for the first time since Week 5 and played a season-high 27 snaps, but he filled a complementary role for most of the game and did not make either of his catches while Aaron Rodgers was under center. Tonyan was active over Jace Sternberger on Sunday, which slots him third among Packers tight ends moving forward.

Active for SNF
Tonyan (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: For the first time since Week 5, Tonyan will take the field with the Green and Gold. The tight end will continue working as a reserve behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis. Tonyan has posted four catches for 66 scoreless yards over his first five contests.

Has 50-50 shot to play Sunday
Tonyan (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Olivia Reiner of the Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Tonyan is expected to play but is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's highly anticipated game against the 49ers. The 25-year-old has been targeted only six times in five games, but Aaron Rodgers likes to spread the ball around, so Tonyan could sneak his way into the box score if he's able to take the field. If he plays, expect the depth tight end to see a 15-25 snap workload.

Practices in full Wednesday
Tonyan (hip) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Tonyan missed the Packers' last five games due to the hip injury, but he appears ready to go coming out of a Week 11 bye. The 25-year-old will likely step in as the Packers' No. 3 tight end in Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Watching from sidelines again
Tonyan (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Tonyan will miss a fifth straight contest after being deemed doubtful on Friday's injury report. This will leave rookie Jace Sternberger, who made his NFL debut last week, as the No. 3 tight end behind top dogs Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis.

Doubtful versus Panthers
Tonyan (hip) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Tonyan hasn't managed to suit up since Week 5 against the Cowboys due to the lingering hip injury. He practiced in a limited capacity to begin the week but was unable to participate in any capacity Friday. The 25-year-old appears to be trending toward another inactive designation Week 10, in which case rookie Jace Sternberger could benefit from increased opportunities behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis.

Limited participant Wednesday
Tonyan (hip) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Analysis: Tonyan was limited on his last three practice reports leading up to being inactive for Week 9's loss to the Chargers, so it's tough to conclude anything about his status for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. He's on the right track at least, and Thursday's practice should reveal more. The 25-year-old tight end has four catches for 66 yards over five games this season, and he may face competition from rookie Jace Sternberger when he returns.

Questionable for Sunday
Tonyan (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Tonyan was a limited practice participant all week and may have a chance to see game action for the first time since suffering the hip injury Week 5. Even if active, the 25-year-old is unlikely to provide much fantasy production while working as the No. 3 tight end behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis.
