Patriots sign veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue after trading Joshua Uche

The New England Patriots have signed veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue after trading Joshua Uche to the Chiefs. Ngakoue, 29, joined the team off waivers from the Ravens and has played 96 snaps in four games since his debut. Ngakoue has recorded two pressures, including a quarterback hit, as the Patriots prepare to face the Bills. The team also added 32-year-old Alex Erickson to their practice squad due to Marcus Jones' injury. In a recent Q&A, Ngakoue shared his love for dogs and combat sports, revealing he trains in boxing and jiu-jitsu during the offseason. He expressed a strong bond with his teammates, particularly the outside linebackers.
