PROVO, Utah, Nov. 26, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Kyle Van Noy was back at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, this time making plays for the visiting Baltimore Ravens.

Van Noy, the former BYU linebacker now in his 11th NFL season, finished with three solo tackles and made a leaping pass deflection in the Ravens’ 20-10 victory over the Chargers on Sunday night in Inglewood, California.

Van Noy played for the Chargers last season but was not brought back for a second season with the team. Instead, he signed a free agent deal with Baltimore three weeks into this season and made his debut with the Ravens in Week 4.

Since then, Van Noy has amassed six sacks and three passes defended to go along with his 18 tackles (10 solo) in nine games.
