ROBERT TONYAN NEWS

Three catches in win over Jags Tonyan corralled three of his four targets for 33 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-20 win against Jacksonville.

Impact Despite Sunday's matchup being between 6-2 and 1-7 teams, game flow worked surprisingly in favor of Green Bay pass-catchers as the Packers found themselves trailing in the final 10 minutes of regulation. The team attempted 34 passes to 25 combined rush attempts, with Tonyan standing as one of five Packers to generate at least three catches. The Indiana State product has been hit-or-miss this season, with four outings of 50-plus receiving yards and/or a touchdown, but five outings with less than 35 receiving yards and no TD.

Ready to play Sunday Tonyan (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact The 26-year-old was considered questionable after cropping up on the injury report with the knee issue Thursday and missing practice Friday, but he'll take the field against the Jaguars. Tonyan should open the contest as Green Bay's No. 1 tight end, while Jace Sternberger and Marcedes Lewis are next up if he aggravates the injury.

Uncertain for Sunday Tonyan (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Impact Tonyan appears truly questionable after he was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant and then held out of Friday's practice. A 1 ET kickoff makes things a little easier for fantasy managers if it comes down to a game-time decision, allowing for a wide range of alternatives. Teammates Jace Sternberger and Marcedes Lewis could both see extra snaps/targets if Tonyan is out, but neither would be a trustworthy option for fantasy lineups.

Absent Friday Tonyan (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Added to the Thursday injury report as a limited participant, Tonyan now appears in serious danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jaguars. An absence would free up snaps for Jace Sternberger in passing situations, while Marcedes Lewis could also get more playing time but likely would continue to focus on blocking.

Pops up on injury report Tonyan was limited in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tonyan wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so the extent of his participation in Friday's session will warrant close monitoring. The 26-year-old tight end only saw one target during last Thursday's in in San Francisco, his least amount of looks since Week 1.

Packers' Adams delivers again with more help on the way

Limited to one reception Tonyan recorded a five-yard reception on his lone target in Thursday's 34-17 victory over the 49ers.

Impact Tonyan was on the field for 62 percent of the plays the Packers ran, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers leaned on his receivers and running backs in Week 9. Since breaking out for three touchdowns Week 3 against the Falcons, Tonyan has averaged just 35.3 yards per game and hasn't found the end zone. He's still a decent bet to end the scoring drought Week 10, when the Packers face a Jacksonville team that surrendered seven touchdowns to opposing tight ends over six games between Weeks 2 and 7.

Leading receiver in loss Tonyan caught five of seven targets for a game-high 79 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Vikings.

Impact While Davante Adams saw more volume (12 targets) for Green Bay, Tonyan ended up with more yards thanks largely to a 45-yard grab in the third quarter. Adams, however, caught all three of Aaron Rodgers' TD passes, reinforcing who the top dog in the Packers' passing game is. Tonyan's seven targets were still a season high for the third-year tight end, and he should remain a crucial part of the Packers' offense in Week 9 against the 49ers.

Good to go Week 8 Tonyan (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Green Bay listed Tonyan as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated report due to the ankle issue, but the tight end was able to take every rep when the team returned to the field Thursday for the first time in Week 8. He'll thus be on tap for his normal duties as the Packers' top pass-catching option at his position this weekend versus Minnesota. During Green Bay's previous matchup with the Vikings in Week 1, Tonyan was shut out of the box score for the only time this season, drawing no targets despite playing 62 percent of the offensive snaps.

Puts in limited showing Wednesday Tonyan (ankle/knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Impact While Tonyan played a season-low 50 percent of the offensive snaps during the Packers' Week 7 win at Houston, it wasn't far off his normal 59-67 percent from the team's five other games on the campaign. Since compiling five touchdowns between Weeks 2 and 4, he's managed just five catches (on six targets) for 57 yards and no scores. In any case, Tonyan will look to get back to full practice participation by the end of the week.

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited opportunity Tonyan recorded two receptions on two targets for 32 yards in Week 7 against the Texans.

Impact Davante Adams dominated targets, vacuuming 16 of Aaron Rodgers' 34 pass attempts. That left limited volume for the rest of the Packers' pass-catchers, including Tonyan. On the positive side, Tonyan did convert both of his targets into receptions to maintain strong efficiency. However, having seen no more than six targets in any contest this season, it's difficult to rely on Tonyan for consistent production moving forward. He and the Packers will draw a matchup in Week 8 against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Clear to play Sunday Tonyan (ankle) is listed as active Sunday in Houston.

Impact After tending to a right ankle injury during last Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, Tonyan didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his ability to practice in a limited capacity Friday opened the door for him to suit up this weekend. Indeed, the Packers kept Tonyan off the inactive list, allowing him the opportunity to log his usual offensive snap share of 60-70 percent.

Expected to play in Week 7 Tonyan (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The tight end was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he returned to a limited session Friday. Confirmation of his Week 7 status will arrive when the Packers release their inactive list before Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but at this stage, it appears as though Tonyan will suit up versus Houston.

Questionable to face Houston Tonyan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Houston, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tonyan was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned to limited participation Friday. He managed to play through the ankle injury for most of last week's loss to Tampa Bay, so it would seem he has a pretty good chance to suit up this coming Sunday. If not, the Packers could turn to Jace Sternberger as the top receiving threat at tight end, with Marcedes Lewis also a candidate to pick up some extra snaps and maybe a few targets. A 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff means the Packers will release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m.

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.

Impact 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 (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Tonyan's ankle injury briefly forced him out of Week 6's loss to the Buccaneers, during which he caught three of four targets for 25 yards, but he did manage to return to the contest. That seems to bode well for the starting tight end's chances of suiting up in Houston on Sunday, though he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited practice activity before being cleared to go.

OCTOBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 tight ends, and he remains the clear starter heading into the team's Week 7 matchup with the Texans.
