Packers' Robert Tonyan Ahead of Schedule in ACL Recovery

According to Wes Hodkiewicz of packers.com, tight end, Robert Tonyan is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn ACL.

Having suffered the injury in Week 8 of last year, the Packers hope Tonyan can return in the early portion of the 2022 season.

The 28-year-old enjoyed a career year in 2020, hauling in 52 passes for 586 yards and 11 touchdowns. However, his production dipped this past season, finding the end zone just twice in his eight appearances. Despite this, the club re-signed Tonyan to a one-year deal this offseason.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur attributed Tonyan’s dropoff to a decline in opportunities.
