Can the Packers Trust Robert Tonyan in 2022?

The Green Bay Packers pass catching unit looks very different today than it did one year ago. A familiar face that Aaron Rodgers will look to target this season will be tight end Robert Tonyan. Returning from an October ACL tear, can the Packers trust Tonyan as a consistent option for next season?

The average recovery time for a clean ACL tear is typically between 9-12 months, according to Stephania Bell of ESPN. However after last season, Packers fans may be a little apprehensive of relying upon a seamless return to action.

After David Bakhtiari’s injury in December 2020, he struggled to return to the field last season.
