Back for the Playoffs? Auden Tate Cleared to Practice

Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate was cleared to practice on Tuesday. 

The veteran has been on injured reserve since Dec. 4 due to a calf injury. Tate is eligible to practice with the team over the next three weeks without counting against the 53-man roster. 

The team must activate him before he's eligible to play in games, but there's at least a chance he could return to action on Saturday against the Raiders.

Tate has three receptions for 39 yards in seven games this season.
