**BALTIMORE, MD -** The Baltimore Ravens have added a familiar face to their defense, signing veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue to their practice squad. The move comes as the Ravens struggle defensively, ranking 32nd in the league against the pass.
Ngakoue, 29, is no stranger to Baltimore, having played for the team in 2020 following a trade from Minnesota. He spent last season with the Chicago Bears, starting 13 games and recording 22 tackles and four sacks. The former University of Maryland standout boasts an impressive career with 69 sacks across stints with Jacksonville, Minnesota, Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Indianapolis.
This signing comes at a critical time for the Ravens, who are 1-2 after a close win against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. Ngakoue’s proven ability to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks could provide a much-needed boost for a struggling defense facing a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday night.
With Ngakoue back in the fold, the Ravens will hope to reignite their pass rush and solidify their defense ahead of a crucial division matchup against the Bills.
