Officially in Sunday Ngakoue (thigh) is active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Titans.

Impact Ngakoue will return to action after missing last week's win over the Bengals. The 25-year-old linebacker adds a strong pass-rushing element to the Ravens' defense, as he has posted eight or more sacks in each of his first five NFL seasons.

On track to play Sunday Ngakoue (thigh), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ngakoue was unable to play in Week 17, but the fifth-year outside linebacker looks ready for the first round of playoffs. The 25-year-old posted 24 tackles, eight sacks and four forced fumbles over 15 games during the 2020 season. He'll be a key part of pressuring Ryan Tannehill and slowing down Derrick Henry this week.

Won't play Sunday Ngakoue (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact The 25-year-old was considered a game-time decision for Week 17 but won't be available due to the thigh injury. Ngakoue will look to get healthy for the first round of the playoffs, assuming the Ravens secure a spot.

Considered game-time call Ngakoue (thigh), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bengals is considered a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact After hurting his thigh in last week's win over the Giants, Ngakoue wasn't able to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday. While the lack of activity in practice doesn't bode well for Ngakoue's chances of suiting up, the Ravens will apparently re-evaluate him early Sunday to see if his condition has improved enough for him to suit up in the regular-season finale. Since being acquired from the Vikings on Oct. 22, Ngakoue has made a limited impact as a rotational edge rusher, tallying 11 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles in nine games.

Injures thigh Sunday Ngakoue suffered a thigh injury during Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Ngakoue had one solo tackle before being forced off the field in the fourth quarter. He didn't return to Sunday's contest, so the veteran defensive end's status will need to be monitored ahead of Baltimore's Week 17 road game against the Bengals.

Torments former team Ngakoue posted three solo tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Ngakoue was dominant in his first matchup against the Jaguars, who traded him to the Vikings back in August. The 2016 third-round pick sacked Gardner Minshew twice, forcing a fumble on one of the takedowns. Ngakoue now sits at eight sacks this season, tying last year's total, and he'll have a good opportunity to hit double-digits in the category for the second time of his career, as the Ravens close out the regular season against the Giants and Bengals, respectively.
