• Chiefs' Robert Tonyan: Signing with Kansas City

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Tonyan is slated to sign with the Chiefs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Tonyan spent the majority of the 2024 regular season bouncing back and forth between the Vikings' practice squad and active roster before being cut in late November. He signed with the Chiefs' practice squad in late December, and although he was let go mid-January, he will return to Kansas City for the 2025 season. Tonyan will likely compete for the No. 3 tight end role behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray in training camp.

  Tonyan was cut from the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Tonyan landed with Kansas City on Dec. 23 after he was let go by the Vikings. The Indiana State product never made it to the Chiefs' active roster over the last three weeks, and his exit made room for Jason Brownlee to be added to the practice squad.

  Kansas City signed Tonyan to their practice squad Monday. After bouncing between Minnesota's practice squad and active roster this season, Tonyan was eventually cut from the practice squad in late November. Now, he'll be a part of the Chiefs' practice squad with the option of being bumped up to the team's roster should they need him. The veteran tight end has yet to record a catch this season.

• Robert Tonyan: Cut from Minnesota's practice squad

  11/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Vikings cut Tonyan from their practice squad Friday. Tonyan bounced between Minnesota's active roster and practice squad throughout the campaign, and he has played in five games, logging 14 offensive snaps without a target. The veteran tight end has had success in the NFL in the past -- including in 2020, when he tallied 52 catches for 586 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Packers -- so it seems likely that he'll find another opportunity with a team in need of tight-end depth. Tonyan's departure made room for the team to officially sign former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to the practice squad.

• Robert Tonyan: Reverts to practice squad

  10/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tonyan reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Tonyan played six snaps (two on offense, four on special teams) and did not record a stat during the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Rams on Thursday night. Tonyan has been elevated from the practice squad three times this year, which is the most that a team can elevate a player in a season. The Vikings would have to sign the 30-year-old tight end to the active roster if they wish for Tonyan to continue to play for Minnesota.
