Auden Tate, one of the better stories for the Cincinnati Bengals last year, is getting healthy and ready to play a part in 2020.

According to Ben Baby of ESPN, Tate has been cleared for football activities after coming back from a knee injury.

Tate enjoyed a breakout season last year as a human highlight reel of sorts, going up and snagging big-time catches seemingly every game despite the problems for the offense as a whole and needing to deal with multiple quarterbacks.

Through 12 games, Tate caught 40 of his 80 targets for 575 yards and a score. He quickly climbed the depth chart under new head coach Zac Taylor, playing an A.J. Green-type role in the offense.

Depending on what happens with Green and others this offseason, Tate could find himself in a prominent role to help along a rookie passer.
