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.

Tonyan (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Tonyan will watch his third straight game from the sidelines. Rookie Jace Sternberger was just activated off injured reserve with an ankle issue and will make his NFL debut in this contest, taking over the No. 3 tight-end role behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis.

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.

Limited in practice again
Tonyan (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Tonyan was also limited in Wednesday's walkthrough practice. The 25-year-old has missed Green Bay's last three games, and if he's limited again Friday, a "questionable" injury tag could be in the cards Week 9.

Tonyan (hip) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Tonyan has missed the last three games and finished last week as a non-participant before being listed as doubtful for Week 8. The 25-year-old would work behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis at tight end should he be cleared to play Sunday against the Chargers.

Held out again Sunday
Tonyan (hip) is listed as inactive Sunday at Kansas City, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Missing his third game in a row due to a hip injury, Tonyan hasn't made enough appreciable progress in practice to indicate that a return is imminent. Instead, the Packers will continue to roll with a TE combination of Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Tonyan (hip) is doubtful for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tonyan appeared ready to return after working as a full practice participant Wednesday, but his participation regressed over the last two days to leave him little chance of playing Week 8. Evan Baylis once again appears poised to serve as the Packers' No. 3 tight end behind Jimmy Graham (ankle) and Marcedes Lewis (rest), both of whom are good to go for Sunday.

Analysis: Tonyan was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, but he's now been downgraded to a limited session.

Tonyan (hip) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Tonyan missed Week 7 after sitting out practice Thursday and Friday of last week, but as evidenced by this news, appears on track for a return.

Can't practice Thursday
Tonyan (hip) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Tonyan was limited in practice to begin the week, but he's now downgraded to being a non-participant.

One catch in Week 3
Tonyan had one reception for four yards in Sunday's victory over the Broncos.
Analysis: Tonyan could have had a much bigger day had he been able to pull in a long Aaron Rodgers pass into the end zone in the first quarter, but alas, he finished with just the lone reception while being targeted three times. Tonyan is averaging just under 20 snaps per game through three weeks, but he's made just two receptions this season and remains the Packers' No. 3 tight end behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis.

Catches one pass
Tonyan had one reception for 28 yards in Thursday's victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Tonyan played a career-high 20 snaps Thursday, but that still slotted him third among Packers tight ends. Tonyan could be a better bet than Marcedes Lewis to assume the pass-catching tight end role in the event starting tight end Jimmy Graham is unavailable, but as things stand, all three figure to see action, and Tonyan will play mainly a complementary role.

Plays extensively against Raiders
Tonyan caught one pass for 11 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Tonyan was the lone tight end with an actual chance to make the Packers' roster to suit up Thursday, which resulted in him playing 66 percent of the snaps on a night when most of Green Bay's key players didn't see action. It remains to be seen exactly what type of role Tonyan will have when the regular season begins, but he will open as either the No. 2 or No. 3 tight end for the Packers.

Catches three balls Thursday
Tonyan caught three of his five targets for 17 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Despite Jimmy Graham being active Thursday, Tonyan got many more opportunities than he did in last week's preseason opener, and most of his damage came on one 14-yard reception. Graham will likely remain limited throughout the rest of the preseason, giving Tonyan the opportunity to take on additional snaps in the final two outings.

Big reception versus Texans
Tonyan caught his lone target for 23 yards in Thursday night's 28-26 preseason win over the Texans.
Analysis: Tonyan elevated to pull down a pass from DeShone Kizer during the second quarter. That reception showed off Tonyan's athleticism, giving Green Bay its second-longest gain of the night in the process. He'll hope to keep taking advantage of his opportunities in the remaining exhibition outings, particularly if fellow tight ends Jimmy Graham and Jake Sternberger (concussion) are activated.

Tonyan is expected to see increased playing time during the 2019 season, Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Tonyan "gets better each and every day - not only in the pass game, but in the run game," and called him "a valuable piece." Tonyan played only 67 offensive snaps as a rookie in 2018, finishing the season with four catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. Most of those yards came due to a 54-yard touchdown versus the Seahawks in Week 11.

Signs tender
Tonyan signed his tender with the Packers on Monday, according to the NFL's transaction report.
Analysis: Tonyan will remain in Green Bay after recording four receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown in 16 games last season. He began the season primarily as a special team's contributor but carved out a role on offense as time went on. Look for him to be a depth option behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis.

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.
