Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan has an expiring contract and is headed for unrestricted free agency, but there’s optimism over his recovery timeline from last season’s ACL injury.
According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, both Tonyan’s camp and the Packers are confident he’ll be back on the field by the start of the regular season, and it’s even possible he’ll be ready to go by training camp in late July.
Tonyan, who turns 28 in April, tore his ACL at the end of a catch-and-run against the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 28. He missed the rest of the season.
