  • Facing 4-to-6-month recovery

    Tate (shoulder) is expected to require 4-to-6 months of recovery time after undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The estimated timeline could make it difficult for Tate to gain clearance for OTAs, but he should be back to 100 percent by the time training camp gets underway in July or August. Before suffering the season-ending injury, Tate had been serving as the Bengals' No. 4 receiver. He wraps up his third NFL campaign with 14 receptions for 150 yards and no touchdowns over nine appearances.

  • Out for season

    Tate (shoulder), who was placed on injured reserve earlier Wednesday, will miss the remainder of the season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tate had been playing with a shoulder injury for several weeks before the Bengals shut him down. Per the report, the Bengals' No. 4 wideout needs surgery to address the issue, but he should be back to full strength for the start of the 2021 campaign. Tate's 2020 season ends with him logging 14 catches for 150 yards in nine games.

  • Placed on IR

    The Bengals placed Tate (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: With Tate now slated to miss at least three games, the Bengals wideout corps will continue to be headed by Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green. Mike Thomas (hamstring) is the top candidate to replace Tate as the team's No. 4 receiver.

  • Comes up empty

    Tate did not bring either of his two targets over 10 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The memory of Tate's seven-catch game against the Titans fades further from our mind's eye with three successive duds since then. He's unlikely to provide much more of a spark with Brandon Allen at the helm at QB the rest of the 2020 season.

  • Moves off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Tate was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: It appears as if Tate, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, was merely listed with the designation due to close contact with an infected person. Expect the depth wideout to maintain his role in Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    The Bengals placed Tate on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tate's placement on the list indicates that he's either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with an infected person. Due to the timing of his placement on the list, Tate appears unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Giants. Tate has been serving as the Bengals' No. 4 receiver this season, recording 14 receptions for 150 yards on 20 targets over his eight appearances.

  • Limited to two targets

    Tate had one catch for five yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Tate was on the field for 21 offensive snaps, good for a 31 percent share, but with the second half becoming a total loss after Joe Burrow's injury, there was little chance for Tate to impact the game.

    Published: Mon, Nov 23 at 10:30pm by Rotowire.com

  • Limited opportunities

    Tate played only 12 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, catching two passes for 24 yards on four targets.

    Analysis: Tate's limited chances are a bit of a surprise, given that he had 33 snaps in the win prior to the bye week, and that the Bengals were trailing throughout this game. At least for this game, he clearly was fourth in line behind Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green. Green didn't do much at all with his snaps, however, so perhaps later in the season the Bengals might just turn their attention to Tate more as part of their future.

  • Set for increased role

    Tate caught all seven targets for 65 yards during Sunday's win over the Titans, and offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said Monday the wideout "has a role that needs to expand and we'll expand it," Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old played only six offensive snaps last week and had seven targets all season entering Sunday's contest, but he led the team in receptions and tied for second in looks on the day. Tate ended up playing 45 percent of the offensive snaps against the Titans, though he remains clearly behind Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green on the depth chart (all played at least 75 percent). Tate's fantasy prospects remain limited as the No. 4 wide receiver, but any injuries ahead of him could…read more

  • Barely active

    Tate had no catches on just one target while playing just six snaps in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Tate was battling a shoulder injury and had to miss the Week 6 loss to the Colts, and perhaps because of that Mike Thomas has surpassed him.

  • Back in action

    Tate (shoulder) was a full participant for Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tate was limited to start the week during the first practice session after he was sidelined for last week's loss to the Colts. Now that the Florida State product is officially healthy, he likely won't make a difference from a fantasy perpective as he's buried on the receiver depth chart behind A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and Mike Thomas.

  • Practices in limited fashion

    Tate (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tate logged two limited sessions to cap off last week's set of practices, but he was ultimately ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Colts. It's encouraging that he's on the field to begin the week ahead of this Sunday's matchup against the Browns. Even if he returns to action, he's buried on the depth chart with A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins commanding most of the reps in three-wide sets.

  • Sits Week 6, as expected

    Tate (shoulder) is active Week 6 against the Colts, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Tate sidelined for the first time this season due to injury, the door is open for John Ross to return to the active roster. Tate will look to work toward regaining his role Week 7 against Cleveland.

  • Doubtful for Week 6

    Tate (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tate looks like he's trending toward missing his first game of the season due to injury, though he was also a healthy scratch Week 2. The third-year wideout has seen more than one target in only a single game this season, so if he misses Sunday's game against the Colts, it likely won't have a major impact on Cincinnati's offensive gameplan.

  • Unable to practice Wednesday

    Tate (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The third-year receiver popped up on the injury report for the first time this season, but according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Tate was present on the field Wednesday. That likely means that he practiced but didn't do enough to be listed as a limited participant. Tate has two more practices to elevate his participation to have a chance at playing against the Colts on Sunday.

  • Limited use in loss

    Tate had one catch for 12 yards in the Bengals' loss to the Ravens in Week 5.

    Analysis: Tate's usage was limited despite A.J. Green's hamstring injury, as Joe Burrow often didn't have time to go through his progressions and locked in on Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and Joe Mixon. If Green has to miss Week 6's game against the Colts, Tate could be bigger part of the game plan.

  • Quiet after early catch

    Tate had one catch on one target for 15 yards in the Bengals' win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Tate's lone target came in the first quarter, and he was on the field for just 22 snaps Sunday. Tate's involvement clearly diminished with the Bengals protecting a lead in the second half, leading to them running the ball frequently.

  • Modest involvement against Eagles

    Tate had two catches for 29 yards on four targets in the Week 3 tie against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Tate was a healthy scratch against the Browns in Week 2, but at least he was back out there, with John Ross instead getting scratched. Both have been passed by rookie Tee Higgins, who has already starting clicking with fellow rookie Joe Burrow. At least Tate received two red zone targets.

  • Back in action Week 3

    Tate will take the field for the Week 3 matchup against Philadelphia, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tate saw 15 snaps in the season opener, but was a healthy scratch Week 2 against Cincinnati. The door is open to seeing the field a bit more this week, however, as John Ross will be a healthy scratch for the contest. Even with Ross out, A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd are expected to carry most of the weight in the passing game, with Tee Higgins also in line to see the start (per Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site).

  • Won't play TNF

    Tate will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against Cincinnati, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tate only suited up in 22 percent of offensive snaps without a single target in Week 1's loss to the Chargers, so this news may not be surprising. The 2018 seventh-round pick was expected to assume a consistent role in the offense this season, however, it appears Mike Thomas has stepped up into the No. 4 role. With Tate sidelined, Tee Higgins, Alex Erickson and Mike Thomas will handle depth receiving duties Thursday.

  • Blanked in catch department

    Tate fielded 22 percent of the offensive snaps but he did not receive a single target during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: The 2018 seventh-round draft choice seemed primed for a consistent role coming into the new season, but it was instead Mike Thomas who stepped up as the No. 4 option at receiver behind A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, and John Ross. Even with a promising training camp from Tate this summer, his fantasy impact in 2020 may be sporadic given how many mouths there are to feed within the Bengals' passing attack. During Week 2, Tate will remain a depth option at receiver as Cincinnati takes on a Browns…read more

  • Tearing up training camp

    Tate is the "early frontrunner for offensive MVP" at Bengals training camp, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: With A.J. Green and Tee Higgins sidelined by hamstring injuries and John Ross spending time on the reserve/COVID-19 list, it's been Tate and Tyler Boyd getting regular reps with the first-team offense. Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports that Tate had a 3rd-and-14 conversion and a touchdown reception during Joe Burrow's first drive of camp last week, quickly developing a connection with the rookie QB. It still isn't clear if the excellent August showing will translate to regular snaps in…read more

  • Drops on depth chart

    With the selection of Tee Higgins by the Bengals in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday, Tate (knee) could begin the season as low as fifth on the depth chart.

    Analysis: Tate first has to show that he can play at game speed, though it's a good sign that he's been medically cleared to resume football activities after his season ended with an MCL sprain Dec. 8. But he has to compete with the likes of A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, Higgins and John Ross just to get on the field.

  • Cleared from knee injury

    Tate (knee) received medical clearance to resume all football activities, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tate was placed on injured reserve after suffering a sprained MCL on Dec. 8, finishing 2019 with 40 receptions for 575 yards (14.4 per reception, 7.2 per target) and one touchdown in 12 games (10 starts). Tate's 50 percent catch rate tied for 192nd among 199 qualified pass catchers, but he had no shortage of highlight-reel receptions and also tied for fourth in the league with seven pass interference penalties drawn. With Tyler Boyd on a long-term contract and A.J. Green likely to be re-signed…read more

  • Heads to IR

    Tate (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: He suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee this past Sunday in Cleveland. With just three games remaining on the schedule, the Bengals' hand likely was forced, and Tate's modest breakout campaign has thus come to a close. He'll end it having caught 40 of 80 targets for 575 yards and one TD in 12 contests.

  • Sprains MCL in Week 14

    Tate was diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his left knee following his early exit in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tate nabbed only one of his four targets for a 16-yard gain before the injury spelled an end to his afternoon. The Bengals haven't commented on Tate's availability for the Week 15 matchup with the Patriots, but given that injuries of this nature often require multi-week recovery timelines, he appears unlikely to play. If both Tate and A.J. Green (ankle) are sidelined versus the Patriots, Alex Erickson likely would claim a regular spot alongside Tyler Boyd and John Ross in three-wide sets.

  • Leading receiver in win

    Tate caught four of seven targets for a team-high 66 yards in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Tate has eclipsed 60 yards in each of the last four games with Andy Dalton under center, with three less effective games quarterbacked by Ryan Finley interrupting that streak. Dalton is expected to remain Cincinnati's starting quarterback for the remainder of the season after leading the team to its first win of the season in this one, so Tate could be a sneaky-good pickup against the Browns in Week 14 and beyond if he's sitting on the waiver wire., especially while A.J.

  • Quiet in return from concussion

    Tate caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Making his return from a concussion, Tate was an afterthought in the passing game and managed to haul in just one of the passes sent his way. He didn't appear to suffer any setbacks, which is a positive sign, but his inability to make a real impact doesn't bode well for his fantasy value. Tate will look to get more involved next Sunday against the Jets.

    Tate (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: With A.J. Green's (ankle) absence ongoing, Tate, Tyler Boyd and Alex Erickson are slated to head the Bengals' Week 12 wideout corps. While operating in the context of the 0-10 team's offense, Tate - who has seen six or more targets per contest since Week 3 -- has maintained a degree of PPR utility, averaging 3.8 catches and 53.7 receiving yards per game to date.

  • Listed as questionable

    Tate (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tate -- who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday -- was listed as a limited practice participant Friday, so he has a chance to play Sunday after clearing the NFL's concussion protocol, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com. If he does play this weekend, Tate -- along with Tyler Boyd and Alex Erickson -- would be in line to head the Bengals' Week 12 wideout corps, with A.J. Green (ankle) still sidelined.

    Tate (concussion) took part in Friday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It won't be clear until after practice how much work Tate got in, but it's a good sign that he was on the field at all after sitting out the previous days. The Bengals will reveal Tate's status for Week 12 when they release their final injury report following Friday's session.

    Tate (concussion/neck) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With back-to-back absences from practice to begin Week 12 prep, Tate's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Steelers don't appear promising. Along with Tate, A.J. Green (ankle) also appears to be tracking toward another missed game, leaving the Cincinnati wideout group in rough shape beyond top option Tyler Boyd. Alex Erickson, Stanley Morgan and Damion Willis all look poised to see enhanced profiles in the passing attack if Green and Tate are both sidelined this weekend.

    Tate (concussion/neck) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Tate sustained a concussion and a cervical strain during the Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Raiders. He'll need to pass the league's five-step protocol for head injuries -- which includes gaining clearance from an independent neurologist -- in order to play this weekend versus the Steelers. With A.J. Green (ankle) also missing the Bengals' first practice of the week and seemingly trending toward another absence, the Bengals may be forced to get by with Tyler Boyd, Alex Erickson, Stanley Morgan…read more

  • Diagnosed with concussion

    Tate suffered a concussion and a cervical strain during Sunday's 17-10 loss at Oakland, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: While making his fourth catch of Sunday's contest, Tate took a hit in which his neck was bent awkwardly, necessitating a ride in the cart to get off the field. He was able to join the Bengals on the return flight to Cincinnati, albeit with a neck brace. Now suffering from a concussion, Tate is subject to the protocol for head injuries, which will determine the timeline for his return to action.

  • Traveling back to Cincinnati

    Tate, wearing a brace on his injured neck, was able to travel back to Cincinnati on the Bengals' team plane, Geoff Hobson of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals have not provided an official update on Tate's status, but it's a good sign that he was cleared to travel back with the rest of his team. The use of the neck brace indicates the team's medical staff still wants to be cautious with Tate's injury, and they figure to continue taking that route in advance of the Bengals' Week 12 matchup with the Steelers.

  • Carted off field

    Tate was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Raiders with an apparent neck injury, Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Tate was hit from behind after making a reception, and his neck bent in an awkward manner. Fortunately, he was able to give a thumbs-up sign as he was loaded onto the cart, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports. The hit occurred with just a few minutes to go in Sunday's contest, so Tate's day is presumably over. His status will be updated again when more details are released.

  • Brings in three receptions in loss

    Tate caught three of six targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 49-13 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Sunday's loss was the first time in over a month that Tate was held to under 60 yards. The dynamic sophomore has been targeted at least six times in seven consecutive games and boasts big-play potential, but with Andy Dalton and now rookie Ryan Finley throwing him the ball, he's mostly been held in check this season. Sunday brings a matchup against a weak Raiders pass defense and more conjecture about when A.J. Green (ankle) will return to the field after unsuccessful workouts earlier this week.
