Hobson reports Tate will be cut so they can keep Core.

[Millhouse]

If I had to guess depending how bad Core's back is, Core will go on IR after making the 53. Then assuming that Tate clears waivers, he will be signed as the 6th receiver, which would leave Core eligible to return after 8 weeks. This all assuming that Hobson is right on Tate on the outside looking in and Core's back needs quite some time to get better. https://www.bengals.com/news/bengals-doctoring-roster
