Robert Tonyan's return will be key for Packers offense

Robert Tonyan was recorded on video running with a football at the side of practice at Tight End U last week.

After a breakout season in 2020, the Packers tight end was just looking to catch his stride in 2021 before tearing his ACL during the Week 8 Thursday Night Football matchup at Arizona.

The injury was a gut punch not only to the Packers offense, but even more so to Tonyan himself. In the middle of a contract season, the injury delayed a payday -- and forced Tonyan to take a one-year prove-it deal worth only $3.
