Eagles to sign Auden Tate to the practice squad

The Philadelphia Eagles had former Bengals wide receiver, Auden Tate, in for a workout on Tuesday and the team will reportedly sign him to the practice squad

The Eagles are always looking to add talented pass catchers to the roster, and one day after a tryout, Auden Tate is slated to sign to the practice squad.

Philadelphia has three tight ends on the roster and has one spot available after placing Andre Dillard on injured reserve.

Tate could be forced into a transition to the tight end position as a big, physical pass catcher, and it could work with Philadelphia.

Formerly with the Bengals, Tate was released by the Falcons ahead of roster cuts. After signing with Atlanta in March, the 25-year-old had one reception for seven yards in the preseason.

Tate had his best season in 2019 with Cincinnati, logging 40 receptions for 575 yards and one touchdown.

Tate has 61 career receptions for 799 yards and two touchdowns.
