Suspension and Controversy
In July 2019, while with the New York Giants, Tate faced a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. He publicly addressed the issue, explaining that the banned substance was part of a fertility treatment recommended by a specialist that he and his wife had consulted earlier that year. Despite appealing the suspension, it was ultimately upheld, resulting in Tate missing the opening games of the season.
