Banner (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Banner is closing in on a return from a torn ACL that he suffered during the opening week of the 2020 season. He is now eligible to return to practice and can be activated from injured reserve at any point in the next 21 days. Banner should start at right tackle when fully healthy, and he'll bolster a Pittsburgh offensive line that is in desperate need of improvement.
