  • Giants' Deonte Banks: 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. 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.

  • Giants' Deonte Banks: 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. 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.

  • Giants' Deonte Banks: 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. 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 season, Banks has racked up 32 tackles (34 solo), six passes defensed and one forced fumble.
