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 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.

Banks (ribs) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. 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 be making his first NFL start. Banks has been a near every-down player for New York when healthy this season.
Banks (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. 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.
Banks (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. 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.
Banks (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. 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.
Banks (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. 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.
Banks (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Banks was unavailable for the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints, but Wednesday's limited practice session suggests he could return to the field as soon as Sunday's matchup against the Ravens. The 2023 first round pick's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he'll be sidelined for the third consecutive game Sunday.
Banks (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints. Banks will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a rib injury, and his next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 15. Adoree' Jackson played every single defensive snap during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys, and he'll likely do so again Sunday due to Banks' injury.
Banks (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Banks was sidelined for the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys after practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week, so Wednesday's DNP could be an indication that his groin injury has worsened. The 2023 first-round pick likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to return for a Week 14 matchup against the Saints.
