Dafney played 14 of 73 offensive snaps (19 percent) during Thursday's 24-21 win in Arizona.
Starting Week 13 of last season, Dafney became a regular in the Packers' tight end rotation, but in seven appearances (including playoffs) he topped out at a 39 percent snap share and combined for two catches (on two targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown. He proceeded to miss Weeks 3-7 of the current campaign due to an IR stint caused by a hip injury, but his return Thursday happened to coincide with top tight end Robert Tonyan suffering a torn ACL. Dafney thus seems poised for a consistent role at tight end alongside Marcedes Lewis and Josiah Deguara moving forward.
