Tonyan has been taking some reps with the Packers' starting offense in practice, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Most of the discussion surrounding the Green Bay tight ends this offseason has focused on 2019 third-round pick Jace Sternberger and rookie third-round pick Josiah Deguara, but Tonyan and 36-year-old blocking specialist Marcedes Lewis also appear to be right in the mix to earn playing time. Tonyan originally caught on with the Packers' practice squad as an undrafted rookie back in 2017, and he then caught 14 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns in 27 games the past two seasons, playing more snaps on special teams (326) than offense (260). The 26-year-old seems to have made a clean recovery from offseason surgery for a core-muscle injury, and he's now hoping to be a significant part of the Green Bay passing attack in 2020.
