Yannick Ngakoue is coming back to the Baltimore Ravens.
The team is signing the edge rusher three games into the NFL season, according to a source familiar with the agreement. The source spoke to The Associated Press on Monday but asked to remain anonymous because the contract hasn’t been officially announced.
Ngakoue, 29, last played for the Ravens in 2020 after being traded from Minnesota that year. He spent last season with Chicago, starting all 13 games he played for the Bears and recording 22 tackles along with four sacks.
He has a total of 69 sacks in his professional career, starting from when he entered the league with Jacksonville in 2016. The Maryland native from Washington, D.C., has also played for Las Vegas and Indianapolis.
The Ravens are currently 1-2 after narrowly defeating Dallas 28-25 in Week 2. They have the 23rd-ranked defense and are last in the league against the pass as they prepare for their next game on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills.
ESPN was the first to report that the Ravens have a deal with Ngakoue.
