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.
