Patriots are waiving linebacker Yannick Ngakoue - The Boston Globe Ngakoue was never part of the Patriots’ long-term plans. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
Let go by New England Ngakoue was waived by the Patriots on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Ngakoue was claimed off waivers by the Patriots on Nov. 8 after being let go by the Ravens one day earlier. He played in six games for New England and accumulated nine tackles (four solo) over that span. If he clears waivers, Ngakoue will have an opportunity to sign with a playoff-bound team before the end of the regular season.

Won't debut with NE in Week 10 Ngakoue isn't going to play in Sunday's game against Chicago after being claimed off waivers by the Patriots on Friday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Impact 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 next Sunday, Nov. 17 against the Rams.

Picked up by New England The Patriots claimed Ngakoue off waivers Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Impact 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.

Visits with Miami Ngakoue (ankle) visited the Dolphins for a tryout Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Heraldreports.
Impact 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.
