Overview
- Multiple outlets reported that the New York Giants will bring Yannick Ngakoue in for a workout on Monday to evaluate him as an immediate addition to their pass rush.
- Ngakoue is a 9-year veteran who missed the 2025 season after a 2023 broken ankle and had limited production in 2024, when he recorded about 1.5 sacks in 11 games.
- He has roughly 71 career sacks and has played both outside linebacker and defensive end, a versatility that could let him spell starters in situational pass-rush roles.
- Giants coach John Harbaugh has prior experience with Ngakoue from their time in Baltimore, a familiarity cited by reporters as a factor in bringing him in for a closer look.
- No contract has been reported and media coverage stresses the workout is a low-commitment evaluation that, if it leads to a signing, would likely mean limited, situational snaps rather than a long-term roster move.
