Report: Bengals place WR Auden Tate on injured reserve
The Cincinnati Bengals will send wide receiver Auden Tate to injured reserve ahead of shoulder surgery, according to a new report.
Wednesday’s report first came from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
So ends an odd season for Tate, which started on a strange foot after his agent spoke out about his client’s status as inactive early in the season. Tate ended up appearing in nine games, catching all of just 14 passes while never seeing a big role with Joe Burrow.
That after Tate’s breakout season last year while playing the A.J. Green role, where he caught 40 passes for 575 yards and one touchdown.
Cincinnati remains thin at wideout, as Tate had recently had a trip to the COVID reserve list and John Ross remains on injured reserve.
