Arizona Cardinals Training Camp Coverage: Update on Keilen Dykes Jason Banks

PrintKen Whisenhunt just met with the media and it's a good news, bad news scenerio for the Arizona Cardinals defensive ends. The good news is that Keilen Dykes has quad strain that the team will keep a close eye on but it should hold him out more than a couple days. The bad news is that Jason Banks has a meniscus tear in his knee that, according to Whiz, will likely need surgery. There isn't a timetable for his return but I think it's safe to safe it won't be anytime soon and this will effectively end his bid for a roster spot. If you remember correctly we projected that the fourth DE spot would come down to either Dykes or Banks and this injury might have cleared up that discussion.
As for practice today, Whiz said it would be light (helmets and shorts) to give the guys a rest after last night's spirited session.

shouldnt be
you can revocer from that type of surgery in 45 days. I tore my miniscus as well. If you dont do the proper rehab though it sticks with you,… like with me for example.
Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.
that was 8 years ago though, they can do it quicker now.

Too bad about Banks
I really thought the battle between Banks and Dykes would be one of the more spirited and entertaining to watch. Unless I am mistaken, though, I believe both have one more year of practice squad eligibility and maybe Banks can fly under the radar, missing most of the preseason, and not get picked up by another team – assuming he will be relagated to the PS again.
