The team is in good spirits after a hard-fought victory against the Cowboys and added a familiar name to its pass rush defense. Baltimore is reportedly signing free-agent defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, per ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore pass-rush help on the way: Ravens are bringing back DE Yannick Ngakoue, who last played in Baltimore in 2020, per source,\u201d Schefter reported. \u201cThe 29-year-old Ngakoue has 69 career NFL sacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ngakoue last played for the Chicago Bears in 2023. He also spent the past three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders after his first five seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, earning one Pro Bowl selection in 2017. Ngakoue will join the team&#8217;s practice squad, per The Athletic&#8217;s Jeff Zrebiec.<\/p>\n<p>After the win, coach Harbaugh honored his quarterback Jackson for an excellent performance against the Cowboys, per ESPN&#8217;s Jamison Hensley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought Lamar was just phenomenal throughout the game,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cHe took over the last drive. I thought the biggest throw at the end, and the big catches at the end. Zay made that huge catch. He made some big runs at the end.
