Toilolo (Achilles) has officially been placed on the Giants' injured reserve, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Toilolo suffered a torn Achilles tendon at practice last week, so this move was only a matter of time. The 30-year-old will now focus on his recovery and set his sights on the 2022 season.

Toilolo sustained a torn Achilles tendon during Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Toilolo was working off to the side at Wednesday's practice and was carted off the field after suffering the injury. The 30-year-old will miss the rest of the season, and it should only be a matter of time before he shifts to injured reserve.
Aug 4, 2021 6:14 PM EST
Toilolo has agreed to restructure his contract with the Giants in order to remain with the team in 2021, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Toilolo was primed to make roughly $3 million in 2021, a figure which would likely have made him a cap casualty, but he'll instead restructure the final year of his deal in order to stick with New York. He played a depth role last season and was only targeted six times despite playing all 16 regular-season games.
Mar 8, 2021 10:48 AM EST
Toilolo secured five of six targets for 46 yards in 16 games with the Giants in 2020.
Analysis: Toilolo played 275 offensive snaps in 2020, but he was rarely utilized in the receiving game. The 29-year-old remains under contract with the Giants in 2021, so he stands to return in a similar depth role which won't provide much (if any) fantasy value.
Jan 14, 2021 9:39 PM EST
Toilolo (hamstring) is active for Monday's game versus the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Toilolo logged limited sessions during the practice week and made enough progress for his Giants debut. The 29-year-old doesn't present much fantasy value as the No. 3 TE behind Evan Engram and Kaden Smith.
Sep 14, 2020 3:02 PM EST
Toilolo (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Toilolo probably doesn't present much fantasy upside, but his status is up in the air nevertheless ahead of Monday's prime-time contest. Both Evan Engram and Kaden Smith figure to be ahead of Toilolo on the depth chart whether he's able to play or not.
Sep 12, 2020 11:26 AM EST
Toilolo was limited in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Toilolo isn't likely to offer fantasy relevance behind Evan Engram and Kaden Smith, but the Giants are counting on his presence as a blocker. He'll work to resume practicing in full before Monday's tilt against the Steelers.
Sep 10, 2020 2:37 PM EST
Toilolo is signing with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Toilolo figures to take on the blocking role previously occupied by Rhett Ellison, who announced his retirement from football last week. Toilolo will turn 29 in July, coming off a 2019 campaign with the 49ers in which he caught two passes on 191 offensive snaps. He has 97 receptions in 108 career regular-season games.
Mar 17, 2020 7:16 AM EST
Toilolo had two receptions for 10 yards over 13 games this season.
Analysis: Toilolo only saw two targets despite playing 194 offensive snaps. Coach Kyle Shanahan preferred to use the tight end's 6-foot-8, 268 pound frame as a blocker in the 49ers' zone-run scheme. Toilolo's fantasy value only comes as a red-zone target in scenarios where he is higher on the depth chart. The 28-year-old is an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in San Francisco's camp given his familiarity with Shanahan's offense both this year and their time together in Atlanta.
Feb 24, 2020 10:14 PM EST
Toilolo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: With George Kittle (ankle/knee) active, Toilolo will miss his first game of the season, as Ross Dwelley and Garrett Celek will fill in as depth to Kittle. Toilolo mainly serves as a run-blocking option when he's active, catching just two passes for 10 yards over 10 games this year.
Nov 24, 2019 4:15 PM EST
Toilolo (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Toilolo practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday before returning as a full participant Friday. If George Kittle (knee) sits out again, Toilolo and Garrett Celek will likely see limited snaps behind Ross Dwelley against Arizona.
Nov 15, 2019 2:51 PM EST
Toilolo (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The 28-year-old didn't have an injury designation for Monday's loss to the Seahawks and played 12 offensive snaps, but he's not fully over the groin injury. Toilolo's status could have increased importance in Week 11 with George Kittle (knee) and Garrett Celek (back) also battling injuries.
Nov 13, 2019 8:18 PM EST
Toilolo (shoulder) started at tight end in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Toilolo sat out the second preseason game due to the shoulder issue but returned to play 18 snaps Saturday. The 28-year-old caught 21 of 24 targets for 263 yards and one touchdown with the Lions last season and is fighting for the No. 2 role behind George Kittle.
Aug 29, 2019 10:41 AM EST
Toilolo (shoulder) is expected to sit out Monday's preseason game against the Broncos, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Tiololo is recovering from shoulder surgery, so his lack of availability is unsurprising. As long as the veteran tight end remains sidelined, Kaden Smith stands to see increased work behind No. 2 tight end Ross Dwelley.
Aug 19, 2019 3:36 PM EST
Toilolo has not practice the past three days while he nurses shoulder soreness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan would go on to say Wednesday that Toilolo likely won't practice the rest of the week ahead of Monday's preseason game against Denver. It's unclear how he picked up the injury, but it could have just developed from the regular wear and tear of training camp. If the 28-year-old misses Monday's game, Kaden Smith could be in line for an increased workload.
Aug 14, 2019 3:57 PM EST
Toilolo is signing a contract with the 49ers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Toilolo had a career-high 263 yards for the Lions last season and has missed just one game through six years in the NFL. He's best known for his work as a run blocker, though he offers a bit more pass-catching utility than the typical blocking specialist. This signing might inspire the 49ers to release fellow tight end Garrett Celek, who handled the No. 2 role behind George Kittle in 2018. At the very least, Celek will need to battle Toilolo for snaps in two-TE formations.
May 15, 2019 6:44 AM EST
Toilolo caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's victory in Green Bay.
Analysis: Toilolo snuck free on a fake field-goal attempt to collect a perfect pass from kicker Matt Prater for what marked the tight end's first touchdown as a member of the Lions. The veteran otherwise served as nothing more than a secondary, short-range target for quarterback Matthew Stafford, just like Toilolo has been most of the season. Set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the league year, the reliable Toilolo seems like an obvious candidate to be retained by Detroit in the offseason, though the blocking-oriented veteran doesn't carry the athletic upside to approach the 2019 campaign as an exciting fantasy option in any format -- regardless of whether he's the starter or not.
Dec 30, 2018 7:34 PM EST
Toilolo secured his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 27-9 victory over Detroit.
Analysis: Toilolo saw a significantly lighter workload than he has in recent weeks on a day quarterback Matthew Stafford peppered star wideout Kenny Golladay with a gaudy 15 targets. He'll look to rebound in Week 17 against a Packers team that just surrendered six receptions for 82 yards and one touchdown to Jets rookie tight end Chris Herndon this Sunday a week after allowing Bears tight ends to log six receptions for 75 yards and a score in Week 15.
Dec 23, 2018 6:21 PM EST
Toilolo secured all four of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 14-13 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Toilolo had only seen more than one target on one occasion through the first 11 games of the season, but the tight end has averaged over three targets and 48 receiving yards per game over the last three weeks. With Michael Roberts (shoulder) on injured reserve, it's not a stretch to think Toilolo could continue to see consistent looks in the passing game during the final two games of the season.
Dec 17, 2018 11:18 AM EST
Toilolo secured both of his targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 17-3 victory over Arizona.
Analysis: Toilolo predictably fell back down to earth in his first showing after catching four of six targets for a career-high 90 yards last week against Los Angeles. Still without a touchdown and just one target in the red zone over 14 games, Toilolo will remain an unattractive fantasy option in Week 15 against the Bills.
