Deonte Banks, benched for more than half of Monday night’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, will start at cornerback on Sunday for the New York Giants when they host the NFC East-leading Washington Commanders.
“He will,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said when asked if Banks would be in the lineup against Washington, which features star wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
Daboll was vague Sunday night as to why Banks was benched in the middle of the second quarter.
“Just thought needed a little bit more on that series,” is all the coach said Monday night.
