In battle for starting role Banks and Cor'Dale Flott are in a training-camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Banks (14 starts) and Flott (10 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the 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.

MARCH 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Mixed results in second season Banks totaled 52 tackles (39 solo) along with 12 defensed passes and one forced fumble in 14 games (all starts) during the 2024 campaign.

Impact 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 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.

Returning to action Week 16 Banks (ribs) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Banks missed the Giants' past three contests due to an injury to his ribs, but he was limited in practice all week and will be able to return to game action Sunday. The second-year defender will look to slow down a Falcons passing attack led by rookie Michael Penix, who will make his first NFL start. Banks has been a near every-down player for New York when healthy this season.

Questionable for Week 16 Banks (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Banks got in a week of limited practices and is looking to return for his first game action since Week 12. Banks, however, was limited last week before ultimately being deemed inactive. If Banks is unable to play, Adoree' Jackson would again operate as the Giants' de facto No. 1 cornerback.

Still nursing ribs injury Banks (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Impact Banks has missed the 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.

Missing third straight contest Banks (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Banks hurt his ribs Week 12 versus Tampa Bay and hasn't played since. He did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week after not participating at all last week, so Banks at least seems to be making progress toward a return. Cor'Dale Flott (quadriceps) is also inactive Sunday, so Adoree' Jackson and Art Green will likely handle cornerback duties against Baltimore.

Questionable versus Baltimore Banks (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Banks has missed the Giants' last two games but was able to get in some limited practice work this week, giving him a shot to play Sunday. Adoree' Jackson and Tre Hawkins handled cornerback duties with Banks out last week against New Orleans.
