Marvin Lewis says Bengals WR Auden Tate has “been on the practice squad for a reason”

This offseason, rookie receiver Auden Tate was turning heads with his immense size and ability to catch nearly everything thrown his way. The impressions he made were so large that rumblings began surfacing about his ability to make an impact on this team right away.

Well, fast-forward through 11 weeks of the regular season, and Tate has only been active for two games, including this past Sunday against the Ravens, with just one reception. For those who have been wondering why he hasn’t suited up much this year, head coach Marvin Lewis talked about it on Monday.
