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.

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

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

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

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