GREEN BAY, Wis. – On Oct. 28, 2021, Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan suffered a torn ACL at Arizona. Almost a year later – 353 days, to be exact – Tonyan caught a team-high 10 passes in Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets.
It was the most catches by a tight end in Packers history and tied for the most catches by an NFL tight end this season.
“Oh, yeah, it definitely gives you confidence,” Tonyan said on Wednesday. “Working back from an injury and all that and not playing in forever, it’s honestly feeling a full game of football again like that across the board, run game, pass game.
