Patriots' Yannick Ngakoue: Won't debut Week 10
Yannick Ngakoue won't play in Sunday's game against Chicago after being claimed off waivers by the New England 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 Nov. 17 against the Rams.

Patriots' Yannick Ngakoue: Picked up by New England
The New England Patriots claimed Yannick 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.

Yannick Ngakoue: Visits with Miami
Yannick 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.
