Report: Colts Won’t Retain DE Yannick Ngakoue for 2023 Season

Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley was amongst several coaches and players who spoke with local media members on Wednesday. Bradley, who is in his second season as Indianapolis’ defensive coordinator, told reporters that defensive end Yannick Ngakoue would not be retained for the 2023 season.

Widely assumed with the addition of Samson Ebukam, but Gus Bradley acknowledges today the Colts won't retain DE Yannick Ngakoue, who's still a free agent and had 9.5 sacks last season in Indy.
