Giants Bring In Yannick Ngakoue For Workout

The visit is a short-term, low-risk evaluation of a 31-year-old pass rusher who could provide situational edge rush help for New York’s defense.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the Giants will host free agent Yannick Ngakoue for a workout on Monday and he has not been signed by the team.
  • Ngakoue is 31 and missed the 2025 season while recovering from a broken ankle suffered in 2023 after limited play in 2024.
  • The veteran has about 71 career sacks and has played for several teams, making him a known quantity for coaches who have faced or coached him before.
  • Reports say the Giants would likely use Ngakoue sparingly in pass-rush situations if they sign him, adding depth rather than replacing their core starters like D.J. Reader and Abdul Carter.
  • This workout is a standard, low-commitment step that could yield a short-term boost to New York’s rotation but any signing will hinge on health checks and performance in the session.
