Gets tendered by Green Bay
The Packers extended a tender to Tonyan on Friday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: With less than three accrued seasons, Tonyan is an exclusive rights free agent, leaving him with no option but to sign the aforementioned tender. He was active for all 16 games last season, first as a special teamer before slowly but surely working his way into the offense. With fellow tight ends Lance Kendricks and Marcedes Lewis about to become unrestricted free agents, Tonyan will enter the new league year as the No. 2 to starter Jimmy Graham.

One reception in finale
Tonyan caught one pass for seven yards in the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Tonyan suited up for all 16 games in 2018 and finished with four receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown, the bulk of which game on a 54-yard score Week 11. The Packers clearly saw something they liked in order to activate him for every game, but he remains more project than prospect, and it remains to be seen if the next coaching staff in Green Bay views him the same way.

Season high for snaps
Tonyan caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's victory over the Jets.
Analysis: Tonyan played a season-high 15 snaps in Sunday's overtime victory, which was just 16.5 percent of the 91 plays the Packers ran, but also a 2018 high for the second-year tight end. He has played at least 10 percent of the snaps in four straight games after playing just 14 snaps all season prior to that, and chances are good he sets another season high Week 17 with the Packers playing out the string.

Not targeted versus Bears
Tonyan played eight snaps on offense in Sunday's loss to the Bears and was not targeted.
Analysis: Tonyan has not gotten any more involved in the Packers offense since catching a 54-yard touchdown against the Seahawks in Week 11. With the Packers now eliminated from playoff contention, the team could decide to give Tonyan a longer look, but unless the Packers explicitly announce that at some point this week, that purely will be speculation.

Not targeted in Week 14
Tonyan played seven snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's victory over the Cardinals.
Analysis: The seven snaps were the second most Tonyan has played in a game this season, but that total was still fourth among Packers tight ends in Week 14, and not enough to make any sort of fantasy impact.

Sets season high for snaps
Tonyan caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Tonyan's reception was his second of the season, and first since he hauled in a 54-yard touchdown against the Seahawks in Week 11. His total output all but keeps him off the fantasy radar for now, but it should be noted he played a season-high nine snaps on offense Sunday, and he could see even more opportunities at some point should the Packers, only on the fringes of playoff contention, elect to take a longer look at some of their younger players.

No targets in Week 12
Tonyan played one offensive snap in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Vikings and wasn't targeted.
Analysis: Tonyan had a tiny bit of fantasy intrigue in Week 12 thanks to a long touchdown grab in the team's previous game against the Seahawks. The fact that fellow tight end Jimmy Graham (thumb) was limited Sunday was also expected to help Tonyan, but the 24-year-old ultimately didn't factor into the offense in any noticeable way.

Surprises with TD grab in loss
Tonyan brought in his sole target for a 54-yard touchdown in the Packers' 27-24 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.
Analysis: The 24-year-old tight end ensured his first career catch was a memorable one, as he made a scoring grab late in the first quarter on a play where Aaron Rodgers bought plenty of extra time with his scrambling ability. While he's been stuck at the bottom of the depth chart all season, Tonyan could bump up a notch if the thumb injury that forced Jimmy Graham from Thursday's contest turns out to be serious enough to cause a multi-game absence.

Scores for second time this preseason
Tonyan caught four passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Tonyan put himself in position to break camp with the Packers this preseason, totaling eight receptions for 61 yards and two scores. Whether or not he sticks around will likely depend on whether the Packers elect to keep four tight ends, or if they opt to keep Tonyan as the No. 3 tight end over veteran Lance Kendricks.

Scores in preseason game
Tonyan caught three passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Tonyan hauled in all three of his targets and found pay dirt from one yard out. He is competing with Emanuel Byrd for the fourth spot on the depth chart at the tight end position, but with three veteran tight ends ahead of both players, it remains to be seen if either will make the cut.

Back at it
Tonyan (hip) is participating in team drills during training camp, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Tonyan seems to be recovered from the hip injury that prevented him from taking part in June's minicamp. Now healthy, the 24-year-old will return to competing for a depth role in Green Bay's tight end corps.

Tonyan didn't participate in minicamp practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tonyan signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers in January with the hope of landing a depth gig at tight end with the club in 2018. The signings of veterans Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis probably lessens Tonyan's chances of doing so, and missing time due to injury doesn't help his case either.
