The Ravens announced on Tuesday that they have signed veteran OLB Yannick Ngakoue to their active roster.
In corresponding moves, the team released OL Sala Aumavae-Laulu and DB Damarion Williams from the practice squad.
Ngakoue, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2016 out of Maryland. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3.48 million contract before the Jaguars used the franchise tag on him.
However, Ngakoue refused to play for the Jaguars in a contract dispute and they later traded him to the Vikings. He lasted just a few months in Minnesota before he was traded to the Ravens that same season.
As an unrestricted free agent in 2021, Ngakoue signed a two-year, $26 million deal with the Raiders. He was traded to the Colts after one year in exchange for CB Rock Ya-Sin.
Ngakoue signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with Chicago last August. He returned to the Ravens a few weeks ago.
In 2024, Ngakoue has appeared in two games for the Ravens and recorded one tackle, one sack, and one tackles for loss
