News

  • Gets cut loose

    Tate was released by the Cardinals on Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.comreports.

    Analysis: Tate spent most of the 2022 season on the Eagles' practice squad before receiving a reserve/future contract with Arizona in January. The 26-year-old is best known for his time with the Bengals, with whom he appeared in 35 contests over four seasons, making 61 catches (on 118 targets) for 799 yards and two touchdowns. He'll now work to find a new opportunity.

  • Gets another deal with Cardinals

    Tate signed a reserve/future contract with Arizona on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Analysis: Tate spent the majority of the 2022 campaign on and off the Eagles' practice squad before joining up with Arizona on Jan. 4. This marked the first time in the 25-year-old's career that he did not appear in a regular-season game, and he has now accumulated 17 receptions since the 2019 season. Tate figures to compete for a depth role in this heavily stocked receiving corps.

  • Joins Cardinals' practice squad

    Tate was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tate will join Arizona after being let go from the Eagles' practice unit Dec. 13. The wide receiver has spent the entirety of the season on and off of Philadelphia's practice squad, but he'll now provide the Cardinals with an additional depth option in Week 18. With DeAndre Hopkins (knee) and Robbie Anderson (back) both banged up, it's possible that Tate is elevated to the active roster for Sunday's regular season finale against the 49ers.

  • Off Philadelphia's practice squad

    The Eagles cut Tate from their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Less than two weeks after re-signing with the practice squad, Tate is once again headed to waivers after Philadelphia moved to cut him. The 25-year-old wideout has yet to play a snap in 2022 and is set to become an unrestricted free agent if he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period.

  • Back with Eagles' practice squad

    Tate was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Tate will once again return to the Eagles' organization after being cut by the team Nov. 22. The wide receiver has yet to appear in a game this season, spending the entire 2022 campaign on and off of Philadelphia's practice squad.

  • Parts ways with Philly again

    The Eagles cut Tate from their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: It's been a whirlwind week for Tate, as he was let go from the Eagles' practice squad last Tuesday, re-signed to the same practice squad Thursday and has now been let go again. The Florida State alum has yet to log an NFL snap this season after totaling 61 receptions for 799 yards and two touchdowns over four seasons with the Bengals from 2018 to 2021.

  • Returns to Philadelphia

    Tate signed with the Eagles' practice squad Thursday.

    Analysis: Tate was just cut from the team's practice squad Tuesday, after he had originally signed with them Sept. 7. The fifth-year-pro has yet to appear in a game this season, but he'll continue to work to earn a chance with the active roster. With A.J. Brown (ankle), DeVonta Smith (knee) and Britain Covey (thigh) all questionable for Sunday against the Colts, Tate may get that opportunity sooner rather than later.

  • Let go from Philly

    The Eagles cut Tate from their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Tate signed to Philadelphia's practice squad back in September, but following Tuesday's transaction, he'll now look elsewhere to continue his playing career. The 25-year-old recorded 61 receptions for 799 yards and two touchdowns across his 35-game stint with the Bengals.

  • Inks practice-squad deal

    The Eagles signed Tate to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Tate struggled to make an impact with the Falcons during the preseason and was released ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. The 2018 seventh-round pick caught 40 of 80 targets for 575 yards in 2019 with the Bengals, but he's yet to replicate that success since.

  • Released by Atlanta

    The Falcons released Tate on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Tate was the early favorite to emerge as a roster lock from the Falcons plethora of WR additions this offseason, but he found himself with the second unit more often than not during training camp. The 2018 seventh-round pick caught 40 of 80 targets for 575 yards in 2019 with the Bengals, but he's yet to replicate that success since.

  • Working with backups

    Tate played 14 offensive snaps and caught one of two targets for seven yards during Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.

    Analysis: Tate worked with the backups and isn't projected to make the Falcons' initial 53-man roster, per Scott Bair and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Many believed that if Tate stayed healthy he'd be competing for one of the top spots on the depth chart, but he now finds himself near the bottom after strong showings from Damiere Byrd and KhaDarel Hodge. There's still plenty of preseason left, but Tate will have to prove he's still capable of what he showed with Cincinnati in 2019,…read more

  • Another addition for Atlanta

    Tate signed a one-year contract with Atlanta on Monday.

    Analysis: Tate will join the second franchise of his career after spending four seasons in Cincinnati. In addition to being buried on the depth chart behind the likes of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, Tate was limited to only seven games in 2021 by thigh and calf injuries. As it currently stands, Tate should have the chance for a substantial role in Atlanta's offense, though the team is likely to further bolster its wide receiver corps this offseason.

  • Won't come off IR

    Tate (calf) will not be activated from IR by the Bengals after his 21-day practice window elapsed, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Tate, who has been on IR since Dec. 4, was cleared to return to practice back on Jan. 11, but he wasn't activated by the team Tuesday, which means that the wideout won't be on the Bengals' active roster for Super Bowl LVI. In seven regular-season contests, Tate caught three of his four targets for 39 yards and a TD. The 2018 seventh-rounder, who turns 25 on Feb. 3, is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Resumes practicing

    The Bengals have designated Tate (calf) for return from injured reserve.

    Analysis: Tate can now be evaluated at practice within a 21-day window. There aren't any guarantees he'll be added to the active roster, but Tate could be eligible to return in time for Saturday's playoff matchup against the Raiders if he can prove he's back to full health.

  • Comes off COVID-19 list

    Tate (calf) returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list and reverted to IR on Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Tate will continue working his way back from his calf injury. He's spent the requisite three games on injured reserve and now just needs to be designated to return and activated.

  • Shifted to reserve/COVID-19 list

    Tate (calf) was moved from injured reserve to the Bengals' reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tate tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday and was moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list for the time being. The wide receiver was placed on IR on Dec. 4, making him eligible to return in Week 16. He will now likely have to wait an additional week before making his return to the team.

  • Out at least three games

    Tate (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tate has battled a thigh injury that has kept him sidelined since Week 8. However, he is now apparently also dealing with a calf injury that will keep him sidelined for at least an additional three games. Tate will be eligible to return in Week 16 against Baltimore, with Stanley Morgan potentially seeing the field a bit more regularly in his absence.

  • Doubtful against Chargers

    Tate (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Bengals team reporter Marisa Contipelli reports.

    Analysis: The same is true of fellow wide receiver Mike Thomas (illness). Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are locked into the top three spots on Cincinnati's wide receiver depth chart, but Stanley Morgan and Trenton Irwin could see a bit more run than usual if both Tate and Thomas sit.

  • Dealing with calf injury

    Tate (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tate missed last week's win over the Steelers due to a thigh injury, but he's now dealing with an injury to his calf. He's yet to catch more than one pass in a game this season, so Tate's status is unlikely to have much significance when it comes to Cincinnati's game plan Sunday against the Chargers.

  • Inactive, as expected

    Tate (thigh) is inactive Week 12 against the Steelers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tate entered Sunday morning with a doubtful tag after not taking the practice field all week, so it's no surprise to see him sitting this one out. The Cincinnati receiving corps will again be led by Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, with Stanley Morgan and Mike Thomas set to work in depth/special teams roles.

  • Likely out Sunday

    Tate (thigh) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tate was unable to practice this week due to the thigh injury and is expected to be sidelined for the fourth straight contest. Stanley Morgan and Mike Thomas should continue operating as Cincinnati's depth wideouts.

  • Sits out another practice

    Tate (thigh) didn't practice Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Despite being inactive for this past weekend's 32-13 win over the Raiders, Tate appears to have taken a step back in his recovery from a thigh injury. Before sitting out against Las Vegas, Tate turned in a pair of full practices to close out the past week, but his lack of activity to begin Week 12 prep isn't a good sign for his chances of suiting up versus Pittsburgh this Sunday. Mike Thomas and Stanley Morgan have split work as the Bengals' No. 4 wideout while Tate has missed the team's last…read more

  • Won't play Sunday

    Tate (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Tate -- who has just three catches (on four targets) for 39 yards and a TD in seven games to date -- out Sunday, the Bengals' Week 11 wideout corps will continue to be led by Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, with Mike Thomas and Stanley Morgan in reserve.

  • Considered questionable

    Tate (thigh) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

    Analysis: After practicing in limited fashion to start the week, Tate logged full workloads on consecutive days prior to Friday's injury report. He appears to be trending in the right direction, but final confirmation on his status will not come until closer to kickoff.

  • Returns to full practice

    Tate (thigh) was a full participant at Thursday's practice session, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tate was limited by his thigh injury Wednesday but didn't have his reps capped Thursday. Although he's missed the last two games, it appears as though the 24-year-old will be able to suit up Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Limited Wedneday

    Tate (thigh) was listed as a limited participant for the Bengals' practice Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After missing the Bengals' last two games with a thigh injury, Tate was finally able to return to practice in a limited fashion. Though Cincinnati would ideally have Tate upgrade to full participation by the end of the week before giving him the green light to suit up Sunday against the Raiders, head coach Zac Taylor said he ultimately expects the wideout to suit up in Las Vegas, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Tate (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Browns, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tate was considered questionable for Sunday's contest and will miss his second straight game due to the thigh issue. He'll now have an extra week to get healthy since the Bengals have their bye in Week 10. Mike Thomas or Stanley Morgan should operate as Cincinnati's No. 4 wideout in his absence.

  • Questionable against Cleveland

    Tate (thigh) is listed as questionable for the Bengals' Week 9 contest against the Browns, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tate was unable to suit up for the Bengals in Week 8 as he suffered a thigh injury in practice leading up to the game. After being limited at practice all week heading into Week 9, the receiver's status is uncertain for a critical divisional matchup. Expect Mike Thomas and Trenton Irwin to fill in for Tate if he is unable to suit up.

  • Limited to begin week

    Tate (thigh) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: While Tate sat out last week's loss to the Jets due to the injury, the Bengals turned to a combination Mike Thomas, Trenton Irwin and Stanley Morgan to handle the No. 4 receiver role. The trio combined to draw no targets over their collective 14 offensive snaps, so Tate won't have a sizable role in the passing game waiting for him if he's able to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

  • Not suiting up

    Tate (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 6-foot-5 wideout was listed as questionable after limited practices Thursday and Friday. This will be Tate's first absence of the season, leaving Mike Thomas as the likely No. 4 receiver for Cincinnati.

  • Questionable for Week 8

    Tate (thigh) has been listed as questionable for the Bengals' Week 8 contest with the Jets on Sunday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Tate has played every game for the Bengals thus far this season, but it's possible the receiver logs his first absence in Week 8. The 24-year-old is dealing with a thigh injury he picked up in practice over the last week. Expect Mike Thomas and Trenton Irwin to see extended opportunities Sunday if Tate can't suit up.

  • Catches one pass in win

    Tate caught his only target for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-11 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Tate's touchdown was his first of the 2021 season. The 6-foot-5, 228-pound wideout played on just 33 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps, and through six weeks, he has failed to record more than one target in a game. Tate can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes as the Bengals take on the Ravens in a Week 7 divisional showdown.

  • Records one catch Week 3

    Tate caught his first reception of the season Sunday against the Steelers, good for 14 yards.

    Analysis: Even with Tee Higgins out, Tate barely factored into the Bengals offense, getting just that one catch on his only target. Mike Thomas is just as much of a factor in the offense as Tate, though that might change in a game where the Bengals throw more.

  • Returns healthy for June practices

    Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan praised Tate's performance in offseason practices, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports. "[Tate] has a really unique skill set that makes him one of the best out there in terms of contested catches," Callahan said. "And he's huge. As a fourth receiver, he's been good this spring."

    Analysis: Tate seems to have made a clean recovery from early December surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. He opened 2020 as the Bengals' No. 4 receiver after putting up 575 yards the previous year, but Tate ultimately managed only 14 catches for 150 yards in nine games last season. Tate appears to be ahead of Mike Thomas for the No. 4 job heading into 2021, while Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase are locked in as the starters at wide receiver.

  • 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.

  • 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/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.

    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.

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.
