The Baltimore Ravens made a significant roster move before their narrow victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, waiving Yannick Ngakoue in hopes of re-signing him to their practice squad. However, the New England Patriots claimed him off waivers, aiming to enhance their struggling pass rush.

Ngakoue, a former Pro Bowler, has had a notable career with impressive stats, including 70.5 career sacks. He has played for multiple teams since starting with the Jacksonville Jaguars and is now set to continue his journey with the Patriots.
