By March, when he becomes an unrestricted free agent, Tonyan will have completed four months of a ten- to twelve-month rehabilitation program. Bechta said that Tonyan’s knee had sustained no additional injury, which is encouraging for his recuperation.
Tonyan finished a 33-yard reception with an ugly blow to the knee. He collapsed into a heap, grabbing his rear leg as soon as he touched the floor. With the help of the medical personnel, he managed to walk to the sidelines and was escorted to the locker room subsequent to his examination in the blue tent.
