Ravens Working Out 15-Sack Veteran Pass Rusher Amid Injury Pileup

NFL insider Aaron Wilson revealed Efe Odaba as one of three defensive linemen who worked out in front of the AFC North franchise.

Odaba is a 33-year-old defender last seen within the state of Maryland -- as he suited up for the Washington Commanders for three seasons.

The defensive end has collected 15 career sacks in a campaign that started in 2018. But he hasn't grabbed a sack since the 2022 season.

He's played in 80 total games with just three starts. Outside of sacks, the 6-foot-6, 265-pounder has tallied 92 tackles, 55 solo stops and 15 tackles for a loss.

Other Defenders Who Worked Out for Ravens

Wilson added David Olajiga and Tommy Akingbesote as the other tryouts.

The former is a 6-foot-3, 310-pound defensive tackle who once played junior college football. The native of London got his start at Butler Community College in Kansas before transferring to Central Missouri. He went undrafted in 2024 and briefly landed with the Los Angeles Rams after the NFL Draft.

Olajiga also has Canadian Football League ties, suiting up for the Edmonton Elks. He's also had a stint with the New England Patriots practice squad.

Akingbesote is a 2025 draft selection who's searching for his next league home. The Dallas Cowboys took him in at the No. 247 selection. He comes with local ties to the Ravens too -- having played 2021 to 2024 at the University of Maryland. The 6-foot-4, 285-pounder grabbed 77 total tackles, 45 solo and eight stops behind the line of scrimmage.

Baltimore, meanwhile, hosts the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
