Ravens sign former All-Pro cornerback to the practice squad

Baltimore Ravens sign former All-Pro cornerback Desmond King to the practice squad

The Ravens are 7-4 and preparing for a huge Week 12 matchup against John Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers.

With Baltimore dealing with injuries and uncertainty in the secondary, Aaron Wilson reports that the team signed free-agent defensive back Desmond King to the practice squad.

King was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft and earned All-Pro honors in 2018 as both a defensive back and a punt returner.

King signed to the Texans practice squad this summer after being released during the 53-man roster cuts to end training camp.

Last season, King spent time with the Texans after getting cut by Pittsburgh and contributed 47 tackles, one sack, and two passes defended in seven games for the AFC South champion.

During his career, King has played for the Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Texans, and Steelers, recording 473 career tackles, nine interceptions, seven fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, 35 passes defended, and 9 1/2 sacks with 2,413 return yards and five total touchdowns.

Baltimore Ravens sign Damarion ‘Pepe’ Williams to the practice squad

On Tuesday, the Ravens brought back a familiar face, signing cornerback Damarion ‘Pepe’ Williams to the practice squad ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Baltimore made the move after Houston, Texas, signed Ka’Dar Hollman off the practice squad to their 53-man roster.

Williams was waived back in August ahead of the 53-man roster cut down.

Williams entered the summer behind Marlon Humphrey and Arthur Maulet and on the Ravens’ depth chart. Jayln Armour-Davis outplayed the former Houston star defensive back, and the additions of Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa in the NFL draft made earning a roster spot even more difficult.

The Ravens are always looking to add a pass rusher to the roster, and one day after defeating the Cowboys to avoid an 0-2 start, Baltimore is bringing back a familiar face.

The team officially announced the signing defensive Yannick Ngakoue to the practice squad.

In October of 2020, the Vikings traded Ngakoue to the Ravens in exchange for a third-round pick and a conditional fifth-round pick. In nine games that season, Ngakoue had three sacks, 11 tackles, and two forced fumbles during the regular season.

Ngakoue is coming off a disappointing season in Chicago—four sacks in 13 games—but could be another rotational piece in a pass rush unit anchored by Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy. Ngakoue could eventually take snaps set for Adisa Isaac and David Ojabo.

Baltimore Ravens sign WR Dayton Wade to the practice squad

A fan favorite is staying in Baltimore, as rookie wide receiver Dayton Wade re-signed to the practice squad less than 24 hours after being a roster cut.

Wade was explosive during the preseason, and had some experts predicting he might earn a roster spot.

Wade displayed big-play potential all summer, including a 56-yard touchdown catch against the Falcons. With Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor as the core three, Wade could not overtake Tylan Wallace, Deonte Harty, and Devontez Walker.

Wade caught 27 passes for 390 yards and two touchdowns during his last season at Ole Miss.
