Fri Nov 08 21:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Ravens Waive Veteran Pass Rusher Yannick Ngakoue

Baltimore Ravens have waived defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, the team announced today. The move comes as a surprise, as the Ravens reportedly want to bring him back to their practice squad if he clears waivers.

Ngakoue, a 29-year-old veteran known for his pass rushing prowess, has struggled this season, recording only 1.5 sacks in limited playing time. The Ravens, currently fighting for a playoff spot, hope to reclaim the veteran edge rusher if he goes unclaimed by other teams.

The move opens up a roster spot for the Ravens, potentially for rookie running back Keaton Mitchell, who may be activated to play against the Bengals tonight.

If Ngakoue is claimed by another team, he will be forced to play for that team, regardless of his preference. Teams with worse records are prioritized in the waiver claim process, potentially leaving Ngakoue playing for a team outside of the playoff race.
