The Ravens signed Ngakoue to their 53-man roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The outside linebacker signed with the team's practice squad in September and saw limited action in the last two games. Ngakoue, who recorded four sacks in 13 games for the Bears in 2023, will likely serve as a rotational pass rusher now that he's taking a permanent spot on Baltimore's roster.

The Ravens signed Ngakoue to their practice squad Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Ngakoue's time on the practice squad will likely be limited, as the 29-year-old is expected to be added to Baltimore's active roster once he ramps up his workload and gets reacquainted with the team's defense. The Maryland product was most recently with the Bears, recording 22 total tackles and four sacks across 11 games in 2023.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Ngakoue will miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his ankle, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Ngakoue presumably suffered the injury in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Lions, though Eberflus didn't confirm as much. In any event, the 28-year-old edge rusher's season will come to a close with 22 tackles (13 solo) and four sacks over 13 appearances. The Bears will likely install either DeMarcus Walker or Rasheem Green as a starter at defensive end opposite Montez Sweat with Ngakoue done for the season. Ngakoue is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason.

Ngakoue tallied four stops and a sack in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday. This was the second time in the last seven games that Ngakoue has more than a single tackle. He remains a sack-dependent IDP option, based on his frequently low scoring floor.

Ngakoue (knee) is active Sunday against the Lions. Ngakoue closed out Week 14 prep with a full practice Friday but remained on the team's injury report and was considered questionable for Sunday's matchup. He'll ultimately take the field and start on the edge, opposite Montez Sweat, as he typically does.
