Report: Vikings and Ravens finalizing trade to send DE Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly made a trade for Minnesota Vikings defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.

OCTOBER 22, 2020 • USATODAY.COM

Dealt to Baltimore The Ravens acquired Ngakoue from the Vikings on Thursday in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 conditional fifth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The edge rusher will join his third team in three months after the Vikings acquired him from Jacksonville in late August, giving up a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 conditional fifth-round selection in the deal. With Minnesota sitting at 1-5 and facing an uphill battle to reach the postseason, the team has elected to move on from Ngakoue while getting most of its draft capital back in the deal. According to Schefter, Ngakoue will arrive in Baltimore in the next 24 hours to undergo COVID-19 testing, and if cleared, he should be ready to make his Ravens debut Nov. 1 against the Steelers coming off the team's Week 7 bye. Despite Minnesota's collective struggles, Ngakoue was productive as a pass rusher during his six games with the club, logging 13 tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles.

Gets first sack for Vikings Ngakoue had three total tackles, a sack, two tackles for a loss and two QB hits in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

Impact After playing just 44 of 78 snaps on defense last week without a sack in his Minnesota debut, Ngakoue played 54 for the defense's 73 snaps and was much more disruptive in the pass rush. His improvement was about the only positive for a defense that struggled for a second consecutive game.

Underwhelms in Vikings debut Ngakoue did not have a tackle or a sack and just one quarterback hurry in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

Impact Ngakoue wasn't a starter on the first play of the game for the defense and played just 44 of the offense's 78 snaps. The Vikings eased him into action after he was traded from Jacksonville just two weeks before the team's first game. And while the Packers focused on short passes to limit Minnesota's pass rushers, Ngakoue still underwhelmed in his Vikings debut.
