Robert Tonyan: Reverts to practice squad
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.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Elevated for Thursday's contest
The Vikings elevated Tonyan from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams.
T.J. Hockenson (knee) will remain on injured reserve, opening the door for Tonyan to be elevated to the active roster Thursday. Tonyan will serve as the Vikings' No. 3 tight end behind Johnny Mundt and Josh Oliver. Tonyan has not seen a target across his four regular-season outings this year.

Robert Tonyan: Opts to stick around in Minnesota
Tonyan signed with the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.
Despite being released from the active roster for the second time this month, Tonyan appears to like his environment enough to stay in Minnesota on the practice squad. He will continue to provide depth at tight end for as long as T.J. Hockenson (knee) is sidelined.

Robert Tonyan: Let go by Minnesota again
The Vikings released Tonyan on Tuesday.
Tonyan was signed to the Vikings' active roster Oct. 19 for the second time this season to serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt. With T.J. Hockenson (knee) on track to return from injured reserve for Week 8 or 9, there doesn't appear to be room for Tonyan, and he will be released for the second time this month. Tonyan could stick around in Minnesota and sign with the practice squad again, but he has an opportunity to explore his options and sign with a team in need of depth at tight end.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Signed to active roster
The Vikings signed Tonyan from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Tonyan began the regular season on the Vikings' practice squad after he was unsuccessful in making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He signed with the active roster Oct. 3 after being elevated from the practice squad twice, but he was released five days later to make room for running back Myles Gaskin. Tonyan is now back on the active roster and will serve as the No. 3 tight end Sunday against the Lions behind Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt. T.J. Hockenson (knee) had his 21-day practice window open Oct. 2, and it's unclear what Tonyan's fate will be once the former returns from injured reserve.

Robert Tonyan: Back with Vikes' practice squad
The Vikings signed Tonyan to the practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Tonyan was jettisoned from the active roster Tuesday to make room for running back Myles Gaskin. Tonyan had the chance to sign with another team, but the 30-year-old tight end will opt to stick around with Minnesota on the practice squad. He's played 38 snaps (11 on offense, 27 on special teams) across three regular-season outings with the Vikings.

Robert Tonyan: Let go by Minnesota
The Vikings released Tonyan on Tuesday.
The Vikings are on a bye for Week 6, and with T.J. Hockenson (knee) on track to return for Week 7 or 8, the team doesn't appear to have room for Tonyan on the active roster as a depth tight end. According to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, head coach Kevin O'Connell said that the Vikings are hopeful to bring Tonyan back as a member of the practice squad.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Moves to active roster
Tonyan signed with the 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.

Robert Tonyan: Reverts to practice squad
Tonyan reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday.
Tonyan saw playing time on both offense and special teams during Sunday's win versus the Texans but failed to record any stats. As Minnesota currently only has two healthy tight ends on their roster, the 30-year-old could be elevated again versus the Packers next week.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Elevated from practice squad
The Vikings elevated Tonyan from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Tonyan was unable to catch on with the Vikings' 53-man roster at the end of training camp after missing practices and all three preseason games due to back spasms. The 30-year-old tight end opted to stay in Minnesota on the practice squad, and if he's active for Sunday's game against Houston, Tonyan would serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Johnny Mundt and Josh Oliver. As a member of the Packers last season, Tonyan caught 11 passes (on 17 targets) for 112 yards across 17 regular-season games.

Robert Tonyan: Returns to Vikings' practice squad
Tonyan signed with the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Tonyan was diagnosed with back spasms in late July, which held him out of practices and all three of the Vikings' preseason games. With T.J. Hockenson (knee) starting the regular season on the PUP list and Nick Muse dealing with an undisclosed injury, Tonyan -- if healthy -- could be elevated to the active roster to provide tight end depth behind Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt for Week 1 against the Giants.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Released by Minnesota
Tonyan (back) was released by Minnesota on Tuesday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Tonyan was competing for a reserve tight-end role but suffered a back injury early in camp and missed crucial time. He could find a spot on a practice squad when back to full strength (though he did recently return to practice).

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Limited in practice Tuesday
Tonyan (back) participated in positional drills during Tuesday's practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Tonyan hadn't practiced fully since July 31 due to back spasms, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in some capacity. With T.J. Hockenson (knee) expected to miss time early in the regular season while working his way back from an ACL tear, Tonyan could offer some fantasy value in deeper formats if he's able to get healthy and suit up against the Giants in Week 1.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Still sidelined with back injury
Tonyan has not played this preseason and hasn't returned to practice after being sidelined July 31 with back spasms, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Tonyan had a shot to be a sleeper in the offense with T.J. Hockenson likely to miss games as he works his way back from an ACL injury. However, he's going to have a hard time making the roster with the injury and could end up being released or placed on injured reserve.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Lower back spasms confirmed
Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Friday that Tonyan is dealing with lower-back spasms.
Tonyan, who was carted off the field Wednesday, didn't practice Friday, but O'Connell hopes to have the tight end back in time for the team's preseason games. Once Tonyan returns to the mix, he'll continue to compete with Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt for added pass-catching opportunities in the Vikings offense while T.J. Hockenson (knee) remains sidelined.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Exits practice Wednesday
Tonyan was carted off the practice field Wednesday with an unspecified injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
The tight end can be considered day-to-day until further information is available on the nature of his injury. With T.J. Hockenson still recovering from a knee injury, Josh Oliver, Johnny Mundt and Tonyan are candidates to see added snaps and targets for the Vikings early on this season.

Vikings' Robert Tonyan: Diagnosed with back spasms
Tonyan, who was carted off the field during Wednesday's practice session, was diagnosed with back spasms, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Tonyan was down on the field for an extended period of time before being carted off, per Lewis. The tight end looks to have avoided a serious injury, though he may be held out of the next few practice sessions until medical staff get a better sense on the severity of the injury. With Tonyan and T.J. Hockenson (knee) both sidelined, Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt should see some reps with the first-team offense during drills.
