Banogu had three tackles and a sack in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo. Banogu has been a disappointment as a second-round draft pick, as he had just two tackles while playing 66 snaps on defense last season. He showed some pass-rush ability against the third-string offense Saturday, but that may not be enough for him to win a meaningful reserve role in the defensive line rotation.

Banogu was carted off the practice field Monday after he rolled his ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Although it's usually a negative sign when the cart is needed, early indications are that the injury is not expected to be long term. Banogu is expected to undergo further testing in the coming days before a specific diagnosis is provided. The 2019 second-round pick supplied 11 tackles and 2.5 sacks last season, and he's expected to continue in a depth role during the 2020 season once healthy.

Banogu is dealing with a hamstring injury, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports. It's unclear when Banogu sustained the injury or how much longer it'll keep him sidelined. The Colts wanted to start the rookie at defensive end for training camp.

Banogu worked with the defensive line Tuesday during OTAs, but will alternate between end and linebacker in future sessions, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports. Banogu, a second-round pick in April, is expected to play linebacker in the team's base defense and rush from the end in sub-packages. He warrants monitoring in IDP leagues thanks to the pass-rushing upside he might offer thanks to his 4.62-second 40-yard dash time, 40-inch vertical and 134-inch broad jump.
