AUDEN TATE NEWS

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Returns to Philadelphia Tate signed with the Eagles' practice squad Thursday.

Impact 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 (thing) all questionable for Sunday against the Colts, Tate may get that opportunity sooner rather than later.

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.

Impact 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, when he finished with 40 catches and 575 yards across 12 appearances.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 Dec. 4, becoming 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
