Yannick Ngakoue Latest News
Let go by New England
Ngakoue was waived by the Patriots on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Ngakoue was claimed off waivers by the Patriots on Nov. 8 after being let go by the Ravens one day earlier. He played in six games for New England and accumulated nine tackles (four solo) over that span. If he clears waivers, Ngakoue will have an opportunity to sign with a playoff-bound team before the end of the regular season.
Won't debut with NE in Week 10
Ngakoue isn't going to play in Sunday's game against Chicago after being claimed off waivers by the Patriots on Friday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports. It would have been quite a feat for Ngakoue to have become familiar enough with New England's defensive playbook to be ready to suit up just two days after joining the team, and the Patriots are opting to hold out their new acquisition Sunday rather than pressing him into action. Ngakoue thus seems likely to make his New England debut next Sunday, Nov. 17 against the Rams.
Picked up by New England
The Patriots claimed Ngakoue off waivers Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports. Ngakoue was signed to the Ravens' active roster Oct. 14 after being signed to the practice squad in late September. He was let go by Baltimore on Thursday, and because that occurred after the Nov. 5 trade deadline, Ngakoue was placed on waivers rather than released, which New England took advantage of Friday. Ngakoue played a rotational role at defensive end with the Ravens, and the 2016 third-round pick will likely do the same with the Patriots behind starters Daniel Ekuale (abdomen) and Keion White.
Getting waived
Baltimore waived Ngakoue on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Baltimore signed Ngakoue to its active roster from its practice squad ahead of Week 7, but now he's on his way back out in Week 10. With that said, the Ravens have signaled interest in bringing him back to their practice squad if he's not claimed from waivers.
Signs to active roster
Ngakoue signed to Baltimore's active roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The outside linebacker signed with the team's practice squad in September and saw limited action in the last two games. Ngakoue recorded 4.0 sacks in 13 games for the Bears in 2023. The ninth-year pro will likely play a pass-rushing role for Baltimore behind fellow veteran Kyle Van Noy.
Back with Baltimore
The Ravens signed Ngakoue to their practice squad Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Ngakoue's time of the practice squad will likely be limited, as the 29-year-old is expected to be added to Baltimore's active roster once he ramps up his workload and gets reacquainted with the team's defense. The Maryland product was most recently with the Bears, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, across 11 regular-season games in 2023.
Visits with Miami
Ngakoue (ankle) visited the Dolphins for a tryout Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Heraldreports. Ngakoue only suited up for 13 games with Chicago last season before suffering a fractured ankle, but he now appears recovered from the injury. With Miami in desperate need of help at the edge rusher position following Shaquil Barrett's retirement, Ngakoue could immediately slot in as a starter for this defense while Bradley Chubb (knee - ACL) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) progress in their respective recoveries.
