Yannick Ngakoue, a veteran pass-rusher, was signed by the Patriots to address their struggles in pressuring opposing quarterbacks. Despite his potential impact, he has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Bears. In his five games with the Ravens this season, he recorded five tackles and 1.5 sacks, while last season with the Bears, he accumulated 22 tackles and four sacks. At 29 years old, Ngakoue still has the capability to make significant contributions, and New England hopes to see him back on the field soon, potentially influencing decisions about his future with the team.
