Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh told reporters Tuesday that it's been challenging for the team to work trade-deadline acquisition Golden Tate into the offense.
Philadelphia acquired the ex-Detroit Lions wide receiver for a third-round pick at the October 30 trade deadline.
The 30-year-old shined in seven games with Detroit this season, catching 44 passes for 517 yards and three touchdowns.
Although it's still early in his Philadelphia tenure, Tate's two-game Eagle run hasn't been nearly as successful. He has only seven catches on 12 targets for 67 yards and no touchdowns, although he did play only 29 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps in his debut, a 27-20 Sunday Night Football loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
