He\u2019s a familiar face for Giants head coach John Harbaugh, who coached him in two separate seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. Ngakoue was with the Ravens in both the 2020 and 2024 seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Ngakoue only had 1.5 sacks in 2024 \u2014 all of which came with the Ravens, and his full sack was of Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels \u2014 and was ultimately waived by both the Ravens and New England Patriots. Ngakoue suffered a season-ending broken ankle in 2023 that required surgery to repair. He sat out the 2025 season to fully recover from the injury, which he felt hampered his performance with the Ravens (and Patriots) in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Harbaugh likely wants to check in to see Ngakoues\u2019 status after a year off. The veteran is a versatile defender who is both familiar with, and could fit well, in Dennard Wilson\u2019s defense. Ngakoue is listed at 6-foot-2, 245 pounds and has played both outside linebacker and defensive end over the course of his career. He could not only help fill the void left by the loss of Chauncey Golston, but also help keep the Giants\u2019 outside linebacker rotation and spell both Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Giants have resolved to explore every avenue to improve their roster, and Ngakoue\u2019s 71.5 career sacks and 243 career tackles certainly warrant a look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Giants are bringing in veteran DE\/OLB Yannick Ngakoue for a workout on Monday, per a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1025080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,1207,1978,2321,2469,6],"class_list":["post-1025079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-giants","tag-football","tag-giants","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-giants","tag-new-york-giants-news","tag-new-york-giants-roster","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkgiants","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117425166343951239","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1025079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1025079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1025079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1025080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1025079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1025079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1025079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
