The Baltimore Ravens signed free-agent defensive back Yannick Ngakoue, who last played for the Ravens in 2020, on Monday to give them extra pass-rush help, according to a source. The 29-year-old pass-rusher has 69 career NFL sacks with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears and the Ravens. He will begin on Baltimore's practice squad but should eventually join the active roster. Ngakoue was a Pro Bowler in his second year in the league in 2017, when he had a career-high 12 sacks, 30 tackles (24 solo) and a league-leading six forced fumbles in 16 games played. In 13 contests with the Bears last year, Ngakoue had 22 tackles (13 solo), four sacks, six tackles for loss and seven QB hits. In nine games for Baltimore back in 2020, he had 11 solo tackles and three sacks.
