Ngakoue tallied four stops and a sack in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday. This was the second time in the last seven games that Ngakoue has more than a single tackle. He remains a sack-dependent IDP option, based on his frequently low scoring floor.

Ngakoue tallied four stops and a sack in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday. This was the second time in the last seven games that Ngakoue has more than a single tackle. He remains a sack-dependent IDP option, based on his frequently low scoring floor.
Ngakoue (knee) is active Sunday against the Lions. Ngakoue closed out Week 14 prep with a full practice Friday but remained on the team's injury report and was considered questionable for Sunday's matchup. He'll ultimately take the field and start on the edge, opposite Montez Sweat, as he typically does.
Ngakoue (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions. The veteran edge rusher was able to log a full practice Friday, but he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's affair after popping up on Chicago's injury report earlier in the week. If Ngakoue is unable to suit up in Week 14, Rasheem Green would likely see an uptick in snaps on the Bears' defensive line.
Ngakoue (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Ngakoue wasn't listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday, but he now seems to be dealing with some sort of knee injury that held him to limited work Thursday. The veteran edge rusher will likely have to log a full practice session Friday to not carry an injury designation into Chicago's Week 14 affair.
Ngakoue is good to go following the team's Week 13 bye and should suit up Sunday against the Lions.
Ngakoue departed in the second half of a close contest. Prior to his exit, he recorded one assisted tackle. If Ngakoue doesn't return, he's unlikely to miss additional time given the nature of the issue and the fact that Chicago has a Week 13 bye.
