The New York Giants are set to host free agent Yannick Ngakoue for a workout following a disappointing 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders in Week 5. Ngakoue, a 31-year-old edge rusher, missed the previous season recovering from injury but is now healthy and eager to return to the field. The Giants are seeking defensive reinforcement after losing All-Pro edge rusher Brian Burns to a season-ending knee injury. Ngakoue has a career total of 71.5 sacks and has played for multiple teams, including the Jaguars, Ravens, and Patriots. His performance could be pivotal as the Giants work to strengthen their defense.
