Tate was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Tate will join Arizona after being let go from the Eagles' practice unit Dec. 13.

Auden Tate: Inks practice-squad deal
Rotowire
The Eagles signed Tate to their practice squad Wednesday.
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.

Auden Tate: Released by Atlanta
Rotowire
The Falcons released Tate on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

Falcons' Auden Tate: Working with backups
Rotowire
Tate played 14 offensive snaps and caught one of two targets for seven yards during Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.
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.

Falcons' Auden Tate: Another addition for Atlanta
Rotowire
Tate signed a one-year contract with Atlanta on Monday.
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.

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

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

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.
