  • Upgrades to full practice

    Banks (hip) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Madelyn Burke of MSG Network reports.

    Analysis: Banks was limited in Thursday's session, and the full practice puts Banks in position to play Monday night against the Patriots. With Paulson Adebo (knee) out since Week 7, Banks has started each of the past four contests, seeing the vast majority of his snaps on the boundary.

  • Begins Week 13 limited

    Banks (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks was unable to play Week 12 due to a hip injury, but he's making progress ahead of Monday's road matchup against the Patriots. The top slot corner will have two more opportunities to officially upgrade to full practice reps in preparation for Monday Night Football.

  • Won't play vs. Detroit

    Banks (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hip injury. He was unable to practice Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the third-year corner to miss his first game of the regular season. Dru Phillips is slated to see more snaps in the secondary Sunday in Banks' absence.

  • Questionable for Week 12

    Banks (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 2023 first-round pick from Maryland downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Banks has appeared in all 11 of the Giants' games this season, recording 27 total tackles and three passes defensed. If inactive in Week 12, Dru Phillips will likely operate as the team's top slot corner.

  • In battle for starting role

    Banks and Cor'Dale Flott are in a training camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Banks (14 starts) and Flott (10 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the Giants brought in Paulson Adebo during the offseason to be their top corner. Banks (52 tackles, 12 pass defenses) and Flott (53 stops, seven defensed passes) put up similar numbers in 2024, though they had just one interception between them as New York's secondary as a whole struggled to collect turnovers. Per Duggan, Banks and Flott have been alternating turns in the…read more

  • Mixed results in second season

    Banks totaled 52 tackles (39 solo) along with 12 defensed passes and one forced fumble in 14 games (all starts) during the 2024 campaign.

    Analysis: Banks missed three games late in the season due to an injury to his ribs, but he started all 14 games for which he was active. His tackle total was slightly lower than the amount he logged (64) during his rookie 2023 campaign, but Banks did increase his number of defensed passes by one, and his total of 12 paced the Giants and tied for 18th in the NFL. Banks had some struggles during the campaign and was benched for the second half of Week 8 against Pittsburgh due to a perceived lack of effort,…read more

  • Returning to action Week 16

    Banks (ribs) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks missed the Giants' past three contests due to an injury to his ribs, but he was limited in practice all week and will be able to return to game action Sunday. The second-year defender will look to slow down a Falcons passing attack led by rookie Michael Penix, who will make his first NFL start. Banks has been a near every-down player for New York when healthy this season.

  • Questionable for Week 16

    Banks (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Banks got in a week of limited practices and is looking to return for his first game action since Week 12. Banks, however, was limited last week before ultimately being deemed inactive. If Banks is unable to play, Adoree' Jackson would again operate as the Giants' de facto No. 1 cornerback.

  • Still nursing ribs injury

    Banks (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Banks has missed the Giants' last three games after sustaining a rib injury in a Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers, and Wednesday's limited session indicates he's still nursing the issue in some capacity. The 2023 first-round pick has logged 43 total tackles and seven passes defended across 11 appearances this season and will likely serve as the Giants' top cornerback if he can return to the field in Week 16, when the team travels to Atlanta.

  • Missing third straight contest

    Banks (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks hurt his ribs Week 12 versus Tampa Bay and hasn't played since. He did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week after not participating at all last week, so Banks at least seems to be making progress toward a return. Cor'Dale Flott (quadriceps) is also inactive Sunday, so Adoree' Jackson and Art Green will likely handle cornerback duties against Baltimore.

  • Questionable versus Baltimore

    Banks (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks has missed the Giants' last two games but was able to get in some limited practice work this week, giving him a shot to play Sunday. Adoree' Jackson and Tre Hawkins handled cornerback duties with Banks out last week against New Orleans.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Banks (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Banks was unavailable for the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints, but Wednesday's limited practice session suggests he could return to the field as soon as Sunday's matchup against the Ravens. The 2023 first round pick's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he'll be sidelined for the third consecutive game Sunday.

  • Won't play Sunday vs. NOLA

    Banks (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Banks will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a rib injury, and his next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 15. Adoree' Jackson played every single defensive snap during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys, and he'll likely do so again Sunday due to Banks' injury.

  • Still nursing ribs injury

    Banks (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Banks was sidelined for the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys after practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week, so Wednesday's DNP could be an indication that his groin injury has worsened. The 2023 first-round pick likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to return for a Week 14 matchup against the Saints.

  • Not playing on Thanksgiving Day

    Banks (ribs) is inactive for Thursday's Week 13 contest against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks was deemed limited in practice throughout the week and entered Thursday's game questionable to suit up, but he's not going to be able to take the field against Dallas. The second-year cornerback had started each of New York's 11 games this season, so his absence is a significant one for the team's secondary. Adoree' Jackson could be asked to step up and try to slow down CeeDee Lamb on Thursday.

  • Questionable for Thursday

    Banks (ribs) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Dallas.

    Analysis: Banks was limited at practice again Wednesday, so it seems like his availability for Week 13 is close to a coin-flip proposition. If he can't go, it could mean a significant workload is in store for Adoree' Jackson against the pass-happy Cowboys.

  • Dealing with rib injury

    Banks injured his ribs during Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers and was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday.

    Analysis: Banks underwent X-rays after Sunday's loss, and the imaging revealed that the 2023 first-round pick suffered an injury to his ribs. Monday's session was a walk through, so Banks' status for Thursday's game against the Cowboys will become more clear over the next two days. Through 11 regular-season games, Banks has logged 43 tackles (33 solo), seven pass defenses and one forced fumble.

  • Undergoing X-rays

    Banks (undisclosed) will undergo X-rays following Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear what Banks is getting imaging for, but the results of those tests will determine his availability for the Giants' upcoming game against the Cowboys on Thursday. Banks finished Sunday's loss with six tackles (five solo), and if he were to miss time, Adoree' Jackson would likely start at corner alongside Cor'Dale Flott.

  • Remains starter after benching

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Banks will remain a starter at cornerback despite having been benched during Monday's 26-18 loss to the Steelers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Daboll indicated that Banks remains a starter for New York, but that the team is still deciding what role he will play Week 9 versus the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. The second-year cornerback has demonstrated issues finishing tackles throughout the 2024 campaign, and his effort level looked visibly lackluster at times in Monday's loss, including a near touchdown given up to George Pickens, though the potential score was overturned by replay. Through eight appearances this…read more

  • Taking part in OTAs

    Banks (shoulder) was on the field for OTAs on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks missed the last two games of the 2023 season due to a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 16 against the Eagles. The 2023 first-round pick finished his rookie year with 64 tackles (53 solo), 11 passes defended and two interceptions over 15 games. Salomone notes that Banks participated in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday, breaking up two passes.

  • Officially out

    Banks (shoulder) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Banks was deemed doubtful prior to the game. With the Giants being out of playoff contention, this news means his season is over. In his absence, Nick McCloud and Tre Hawkins are candidates to replace him at cornerback opposite Adoree' Jackson.

  • Likely missing Week 18

    Banks (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Despite a week of limited practice sessions, Banks is expected to miss his second consecutive game in Week 18 as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury. Tre Hawkins and Nick McCloud would likely see more work in the Giants' secondary if Banks doesn't suit up Sunday.

  • Still dealing with shoulder injury

    Banks (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Banks sat out of Sunday's loss versus the Rams, so that he practiced in any capacity Wednesday is actually an encouraging sign. Still, he will probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Out against Rams

    Banks (shoulder) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks injured his shoulder in last week's 24-6 loss to the Saints and ultimately drew a questionable designation prior to Week 17. It turns out he has not been able to recover in time, so Tre Hawkins and Cor'Dale Flott are now candidates to see increased snaps in the Giants' secondary as a result.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Banks (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks exited the Giants' Christmas Day loss to the Eagles after sustaining a shoulder injury, but after a limited practice session Thursday, he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the rookie cornerback is unable to play in Week 17, Tre Hawkins and Cor'Dale Flott would both likely see increased opportunities in New York's secondary.

  • Limited Thursday

    Banks (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Banks sustained a shoulder injury during the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Eagles, and after beginning the team's week of practice with an estimated DNP, he upgraded to a limited session Thursday. Unless the rookie cornerback is able to practice in full Friday, he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Still nursing shoulder injury

    Banks (shoulder) did not participate at the Giants' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks picked up a shoulder issue during Monday's loss at Philadelphia, and it's now holding him out of practice to start the new week. Unless he can practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he probably won't play Sunday.

    Banks (shoulder) is considered questionable to return to Monday's matchup with the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Banks tallied six solo tackles before exiting the game. It remains to be seen if he will be able to return, but Cor'Dale Flott and Tre Hawkins are candidates to fill in for him at cornerback opposite Adoree' Jackson in the meantime.

  • Racks up career-high 12 stops

    Banks recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) and deflected a pass Monday in a 24-22 win against the Packers.

    Analysis: Banks hadn't notched more than seven stops in any of his 12 career contests prior to Monday, but he emerged as the Giants' leading tackler in the upset win against Green Bay. Half of his stops came in the fourth quarter as New York did just enough to notch its third straight victory. Banks has held a starting role throughout the campaign and has tallied 55 tackles (44 solo) along with 11 defensed passes, including two interceptions.

    Banks recorded four tackles (three solo), a pass deflection and an interception during the Giants' 10-7 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

  • Will play at Washington

    Banks (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Commanders, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Banks sustained an ankle injury in Week 10 at Dallas, but it evidently wasn't serious enough to keep him from suiting up in Week 11. He'll be one of the Giants' top cover corners against a pass-dependent Washington team.

  • Uncertain to return

    Banks is questionable to return to Sundays' contest in Dallas due to an ankle injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: There is no word on the severity of Banks' ankle issue, but his status for the remainder of the game is uncertain. Cor'Dale Flott (shoulder) is also questionable, leaving Tre Hawkins and Darnay Holmes as the lone healthy cornerbacks on New York's roster for the time being.

  • Ties career high in tackles

    Banks finished Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Raiders with seven tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup.

    Analysis: Banks has held a near every-down role in New York's secondary for most of his rookie campaign after being taken in the first round of this year's draft. He tied for second on the team with seven stops Sunday, tying the career-best mark he first established in Week 7 against Washington. Banks is up to 33 tackles (26 solo) and eight pass defenses -- including an interception -- through nine contests.

  • Nabs first career INT

    Banks finished Sunday's Week 7 14-7 win over Washington with seven tackles (five solo) and an interception that he returned for six yards.

    Analysis: Banks ranked second on New York with seven tackles in the victory, but his biggest contribution was a second-quarter pickoff of Sam Howell on a deep pass into Giants territory. The interception was the first of Banks' career in his seventh NFL game. The rookie first-round pick also established a career high with the seven tackles, and he continues to work as a near every-down starter in New York's secondary.

  • Expected to play Week 6

    Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that he expects Banks (ankle) to be able to play in Sunday night's Week 6 game against the Bills, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Banks appeared to roll his ankle late in the fourth quarter of the Week 5 loss to the Dolphins, but it doesn't sound like a serious injury. The No. 24 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Banks has started all five games for the G-Men to this point, recording 15 tackles and four pass breakups.

    Analysis: The 2023 first-round pick has recorded seven tackles and three pass deflections throughout his first three games. Banks underwent an MRI earlier in the week that came back negative, telling reporters Tuesday that he'll be ready for the Giants' Monday night game against Seattle.

    Banks (arm) will undergo an MRI on Friday after exiting Thursday's game against the 49ers in the first half, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Banks already had an X-ray done, which came back negative. Still, the exact nature and extent of the injury are unclear, though there should be further news after the imaging is done Friday.

  • Exits with injury Thursday

    Banks is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the 49ers with an arm injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Banks logged two solo tackles before he was forced out due to this injury, which has left his availability for the second half up in the air. With the rookie first-round pick sidelined for the time being, Adoree' Jackson and Darnay Holmes will have to step up into bigger roles opposite Tre Hawkins.

  • Looking good to go Sunday

    Banks (calf) was a full participant at practice Friday ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona.

    Analysis: After exiting early from the Giants' 40-0 loss versus Dallas in Week 1 with cramping, it appears Banks will be ready to suit up for Week 2. His unit as a whole should have an easier go of it Sunday against a bad Cardinals passing offense.

  • Tending to calf injury

    Banks (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at the Cardinals, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Banks reportedly left the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys prematurely due to cramping, which is likely related to the calf issue. Before departing the 40-0 loss to Dallas, Banks played 23 snaps and recorded one tackle and two pass breakups.

  • Dealing with cramps

    Banks went to the locker room with cramps shortly before halftime during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A report from the Giants shortly after halftime suggested that Banks would likely be able to return, but the cornerback remained off the field for most of the third quarter. However, the Giants are likely just exercising caution while trailing by a significant margin. Even if Banks doesn't return to the regular-season opener, it seems likely that he'll be available for next Sunday's game against Arizona.

  • Working with first team

    Banks took reps with the Giants' first-team defense during the team's first day of minicamp Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: New York traded up in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft to select Banks, so it's no surprise the organization sees him as an immediate contributor. Per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, the Giants don't intend on "coddling" Banks this season, and the rookie is expected to start at outside corner in his first campaign. His ability to adjust to playing in the NFL could be a major factor in New York's defensive success in 2023.
