Banogu was released by the Cowboys on Tuesday, Nick Harris of the team's website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Drafted in the second round by the Colts in 2019, Banogu failed to make an impact in his first four years in the league, and now he's come up short in his attempt to crack the Cowboys' deep defensive end rotation. The TCU product has recorded 18 tackles and zero sacks in 34 games over the last three seasons.

Banogu agreed to terms with the Cowboys on Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending the first four years of his career in Indianapolis, the 2019 second-round pick has found a new home in Dallas. Banogu accumulated 29 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble throughout his four-year career with the Colts. He will most likely compete for a depth role on the Cowboys' defensive line.

Banogu had three tackles and a sack in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Banogu has been a disappointment as a second-round draft pick, as he had just two tackles while playing 66 snaps on defense last season. He showed some pass-rush ability against the third-string offense Saturday, but that may not be enough for him to win a meaningful reserve role in the defensive line rotation.

Banogu played just six snaps and didn't have a tackle in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Despite drawing some praise for his improvement in the preseason, Banogu had a limited role on the defensive line. The 2019 second-round draft pick hasn't been able to live up to his draft position with just 2.5 career sacks in 26 career games.

Banogu had a tackle and played seven snaps on defense in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

Banogu was seen as a contender for a starting role at defensive end with Kemoko Turay still out with an anklle injury, but he had a limited reserve role Sunday.

Banogu (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was major concern after Banogu was carted off the field Monday with an ankle injury, but he spent only a few days on the sidelines before getting back in action. The 2019 second-round pick is poised to see an increase from the 17.1 snaps he averaged per game in 2019, and he could take a starting job from Al-Quadin Muhammad with a solid finish to training camp.

Banogu was carted off the practice field Monday after he rolled his ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although it's usually a negative sign when the cart is needed, early indications are that the injury is not expected to be long term. Banogu is expected to undergo further testing in the coming days before the injury is clarified. The 2019 second-round pick supplied 11 tackles and 2.5 sacks last season, and he's expected to continue more of a depth role for the 2020 season once healthy.

Banogu posted 11 tackles and 2.5 sacks over 16 games in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie second-round pick toiled in a reserve role, averaging 17.1 defensive snaps per game, but he made a pass-rushing impact with eight quarterback pressures. His role in 2020 depends on whether the Colts re-sign Jabaal Sheard, but if they don't, he'll compete with Al-Quadin Muhammad for a starting gig at defensive end.

Banogu had a sack, a tackle for a loss, a forced fumble and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Banogu made an impact on defense with several disruptive plays. He played on 36 of the defense's 73 snaps. His continued improvement would help the Colts over come the loss of Kemoko Turay to an ankle injury.

Banogu had a tackle, 0.5 sacks and two QB hits in Sunday's loss at the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Banogu wasn't a starter but played on 27 of the defense's 63 snaps as he'll be a steady part of the defensive line rotation. He also looked fully healthy after dealing with a hamstring issue during the preseason.
