Banks spent the offseason on the Redskins’ practice squad, and that is where he will likely end up after clearing waivers. Banks will elevated in order to compensate for the injuries along the defensive line. With his release, reported by ESPN’s John Keim, Washington may be preparing for the return of Matt Ioannidis, who is listed as day-to-day with a hand injury.
As @BenStandig tweeted, Skins cutting DL Brandon Banks. Zero surprise; one-game fill-in until Ioannidis healthy. Also, Skins need an RB. Banks to PS if clears waivers.
The return of Ioannidis would be a pleasant development.
