How Many Tight Ends Will the Packers Keep On the Initial 53-Man Roster

The Green Bay Packers offered great news on Sunday, when three important offensive players came out of the physically unable to perform list - offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins, wide receiver Christian Watson, and tight end Robert Tonyan. For the tight end room, Tonyan's return is highly impactful.

First, because he is the best receiving option among the group - Tonyan is an effective red zone option, has a strong connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and also has the physical profile to develop his middle-of-the-field receiving skills to become a perfect weapon against the modern two-high defenses, which are en vogue throughout the NFL.
