The Bears placed Ngakoue (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ngakoue fractured his ankle at some point during Sunday's 28-16 win over the Lions. He had four tackles and a sack in the win and will finish the season with 22 tackles (13 solo), including four sacks. Demarcus Walker is set to take over as the starting edge rusher alongside Montez Sweat.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Ngakoue will miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his ankle, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ngakoue presumably suffered the injury in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Lions, though Eberflus didn't confirm as much. In any event, the 28-year-old edge rusher's season will come to a close with 22 tackles (13 solo) and four sacks over 13 appearances. The Bears will likely install either DeMarcus Walker or Rasheem Green as a starter at defensive end opposite Montez Sweat with Ngakoue done for the season. Ngakoue is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason.

Ngakoue tallied four stops and a sack in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This was the second time in the last seven games that Ngakoue has more than a single tackle. He remains a sack-dependent IDP option, based on his frequently low scoring floor.

Ngakoue (knee) is active Sunday against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Ngakoue closed out Week 14 prep with a full practice Friday but remained on the team's injury report and was considered questionable for Sunday's matchup. He'll ultimately take the field and start on the edge, opposite Montez Sweat, as he typically does.

Ngakoue (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran edge rusher was able to log a full practice Friday, but he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's affair after popping up on Chicago's injury report earlier in the week. If Ngakoue is unable to suit up in Week 14, Rasheem Green would likely see an uptick in snaps on the Bears' defensive line.

Ngakoue (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Ngakoue wasn't listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday, but he now seems to be dealing with some sort of knee injury that held him to limited work Thursday. The veteran edge rusher will likely have to log a full practice session Friday to not carry an injury designation into Chicago's Week 14 affair.

Ngakoue, who exited the Bears' Week 12 game against the Vikings with cramps, is no longer on the team's injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ngakoue is good to go following the team's Week 13 bye and should suit up Sunday against the Lions.

Ngakoue exited Monday's game against Minnesota due to cramps and is questionable to return.

EDGE Analysis

Ngakoue departed in the second half of a close contest. Prior to his exit, he recorded one assisted tackle. If Ngakoue doesn't return, he's unlikely to miss additional time given the nature of the issue and the fact that Chicago has a Week 13 bye.

Ngakoue recorded three tackles and a sack in the Bears' 16-13 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ngakoue snapped a four-game streak in which he failed to tally a sack. It's possible that with recently acquired Montez Sweat playing across from him, Ngakoue could see elevated sack totals down the stretch.

Ngakoue (back) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After being limited at practice Wednesday, Ngakoue was able to participate in full Thursday and looks to be on track to play in Week 7. He'll be one of Chicago's top pass rushers Sunday when the Bears host a sputtering Las Vegas offense.
