CHRIS BANJO NEWS

Sitting out Sunday Banjo (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Jets.

Impact Banjo will miss a second straight game. He was trending up and finished the practice week with two straight limited sessions, so he'll have a good chance to play Week 6 against the Cowboys -- a Monday night game. Expect Charles Washington and Deionte Thompson to rotate into Banjo's role Sunday.

Deemed questionable for Sunday Banjo (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jets, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Banjo logged limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, so he'll be closely monitored over the weekend leading up to Sunday's matchup. If he's unable to play, expect Charles Washington and Deionte Thompson to share the workload alongside Budda Baker.

Upgraded Thursday Banjo (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact After failing to suit up in Wednesday's practice, it was a good sign that Banjo was able to suit up in some fashion. Banjo's practice availability Friday should paint a clearer picture of his chances to suit up in Week 5. If he's forced to miss more time, expect both Charles Washington and Deionte Thompson to have a role at strong safety.

Unable to practice Wednesday Banjo (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Banjo missed Week 4 and is on the wrong track ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Jets, but he still has two more practices to get on the field in some capacity. If he misses Week 5 as well, expect both Charles Washington and Deionte Thompson to have a role alongside starting free safety Budda Baker.

Ruled out Banjo (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact This news is relatively unsurprising as Banjo was unable to practice all week. He injured his thumb in last Sunday's game against the Lions. With Budda Baker (thumb) also out, look for some combination of Curtis Riley, Deionte Thompson and Charles Washington to handle secondary duties. Banjo's next chance to suit up will come in Week 5 against the Jets.

Misses another practice Banjo (hamstring) is not practicing Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Banjo has missed back-to-back practices since suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Lions. Unless he's able to ramp up his activity during Friday's final practice of the week, the starting strong safety could be in line to miss Week 4 at Carolina.

Leaves game Sunday Banjo (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Banjo came up limping on a play late in the first quarter, and he's yet to return to the game since. As long as Banjo is sidelined, look for Charles Washington to take over as the team's starting strong safety.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Totals nine tackles Week 2 Banjo racked up nine tackles (six solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 30-15 win against Washington.

Impact Banjo is filling in for Jalen Thompson, who suffered an ankle injury in the season opener and currently resides on injured reserve. Due to the situation, Banjo will start at strong safety for at least the next two weeks before the Cardinals can decide whether to activate Thompson. Through two games, Banjo has logged 94.5 percent of the Cardinals' defensive snaps en route to 15 tackles, which so far ranks fourth among the team's IDPs.

Accrues six tackles Banjo compiled six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 24-20 victory in San Francisco.

Impact Ostensibly a special-teamer in his first seven NFL seasons, Banjo wasn't expected to play a significant role on defense in 2020. That said, starting strong safety Jalen Thompson suffered an ankle injury on his second snap and didn't return, allowing Banjo to log 58 of 62 defensive plays. Banjo's upcoming workload likely depends on Thompson's health, which won't receive some clarity until the Cardinals release their first Week 2 injury report Wednesday.
