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

With a void at defensive end, the Colts traded cornerback Rock Ya-Sin to Oakland for Ngakoue to improve their pass rush. Ngakoue offers a nice floor as a pass rusher with eight or more sacks in each of his six seasons, including 10 last season with Las Vegas.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Might reunite with Chicago
The Bears could re-consider bringing back Ngakoue after getting rebuffed in their efforts to trade for Matthew Judon, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ngakoue played 13 games for Chicago last season, filling a situational role and recording 4.0 sacks in 573 snaps. The 29-year-old has remained a free agent to this point, and his experience in the Bears' system would likely make him the most appealing option for the club if it does look to pivot to another veteran pass rusher after missing out on Judon, who was dealt to the Falcons last week.
