Mandatory Credit: Brad Mills-Imagn Images The Baltimore Ravens are signing linebacker Yannick Ngakoue to their practice squad, ESPN and The Athletic reported Monday.
Ngakoue, 29, has been a free agent since his one-year contract with the Chicago Bears expired last spring. His lone year in Chicago was cut short by a broken ankle in Week 14.
The Washington, D.C. native and former Maryland star is returning to Baltimore after playing nine games for the Ravens during the 2020 season. The Minnesota Vikings traded him to Baltimore before the deadline for two draft picks.
Ngakoue has 69 career sacks in 123 games (115 starts) for six teams since the Jacksonville Jaguars picked him in the third round of the 2016 draft. He put up double-digit sacks in 2017 with Jacksonville (12) and 2021 with the Las Vegas Raiders (10).
In 13 games (all starts) for the Bears last season, Ngakoue tallied four sacks, 22 tackles and seven quarterback hits.
