Giants' Deonte Banks: Questionable for Week 12
Deonte Banks (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.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.

Giants' Deonte Banks: In battle for starting role
Deonte Banks and Cor'Dale Flott are in a training camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.Banks (14 starts) and Flott (10 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the New York 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 rotation during camp, so it appears this will be a genuine position battle throughout the preseason.

Giants' Deonte Banks: Mixed results in second season
Deonte Banks totaled 52 tackles (39 solo) along with 12 defensed passes and one forced fumble in 14 games (all starts) during the 2024 campaign.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 New York 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, but the Giants invested a lot in him as a first-round selection in the 2023 draft, and he'll likely be back in a starting role in 2025, when he'll be in the third year of his rookie contract.

Deonte Banks (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.Banks has missed the New York 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.
