Robert Tonyan: Cut from Minnesota's practice squad
The Vikings cut Robert 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.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Moves to active roster
Robert Tonyan signed with the Minnesota Vikings' 53-man roster from their practice squad Thursday.Tonyan has been elevated each of the last two weeks, seeing 10 snaps on offense without a target. The veteran tight end's promotion comes with Josh Oliver (wrist) currently questionable for Sunday's game in London against the Jets and T.J. Hockenson (knee) still likely at least another week away from returning. If Oliver is unable to suit up Sunday, Tonyan and Johnny Mundt will likely be the only healthy tight ends for the Vikings in Week 5.
