Rotowire
The Vikings signed Bankston to the practice squad Wednesday, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.
Bankston was cut from the Packers' practice squad Oct. 20, but the New Mexico product will find a new home with the Vikings and stay in the NFC North division. He was with Minnesota during the tail end of the 2025 season and was with the Giants in training camp before being cut by New York on Aug. 29. Bankston's addition gives the Vikings additional backfield depth and a potential contributor on special teams.

Rotowire
The Giants waived Bankston on Saturday.
Since joining New York as an undrafted rookie in May, Bankston ended up ranking second on the team in rushing (73 yards on 21 carries) this preseason behind Eric Gray (90 yards). It wasn't enough for Bankston to land on the Giants' initial 53-man roster, but he will be a candidate to land on a team's practice squad if he clears waivers.
