NATO directly fighting Russian troops in Ukraine would be a big deal and quite unlikely already if it somehow got to that.
Russians need to be kicked out of Ukraine but they need to kick out Putin out of Russia themselves.
Why
It's anti-Democratic to interfere in the politics of other countries.
And yes, the US has done it a lot, and tries to keep it hushed up because it's extremely wrong and unpopular behavior.
First, why would NATO risk escalation and bother losing troops when they can get Ukraine to do all the actual fighting?
