Banner remains committed to returning to the NFL field, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banner suffered a torn ACL in Week 1 of the 2020 season as a member of the Steelers and has yet to make it back to the field. The 6-foot-8, 335-pound tackle was set to be a starter for Pittsburgh prior to the injury and could garner a roster spot somewhere in 2023 if his knee is healthy.

The Steelers released Banner on Wednesday, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pittsburgh's attempt to revamp the offensive line last season was an abject failure, and the team will now cut its losses. With the Steelers having re-signed Chukwuma Okorafor, it's unsurprising to see Banner's four-year stint in the organization come to an end.

The Steelers activated Banner (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Banner can now return to team facilities and begin preparing for Week 18's regular-season finale against the Ravens. He stands to return to his usual starting role.

The Steelers placed Banner (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Banner hasn't seen much playing time for Pittsburgh this season but now will need to spend some time away from the team. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up Sunday against Kansas City.

Banner (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banner has been recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL. The injury occured in the opening week of the 2020 campaign, though Banner has been able to practice with the team since Sep. 29. Banner should have the chance to return as the Steeler's starting right tackle as soon as their Week 6 matchup Sunday against Seattle.

Banner (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banner is closing in on a return from a torn ACL that he suffered during the opening week of the 2020 season. He is now eligible to return to practice and can be activated from injured reserve at any point in the next 21 days. Banner should start at right tackle when fully healthy, and he'll bolster a Pittsburgh offensive line that is in desperate need of improvement.

Banner (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Banner continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered Week 1 last year, and he'll open the 2021 campaign on injured reserve. The 27-year-old was said to be ahead of schedule in his recovery at the start of training camp, so he could be activated when eligible after missing the first three games of the season.

Banner (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery process, Bob Pompeani of KDKA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banner sustained a torn ACL during the first game of the 2020 campaign, but he re-signed with the Steelers in March and said in May that he expects to be ready for training camp. Coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that the 27-year-old is believed to be ahead of schedule in his recovery, so it appears as though he could be near full participation in training camp this year. Banner will likely claim a starting role on Pittsburgh's offensive line if he's ultimately cleared to play Week 1.

Banner (knee) said Thursday that he's expected to be ready for training camp, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banner suffered a torn ACL in the first game of the 2020 season, so this is good news that he appears on track in his recovery. The USC product was resigned by the Steelers this offseason, and if his health holds up, he'll head into training camp as the favorite to earn the starting right tackle job for 2021.

Banner (knee) re-signed with the Steelers on Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Banner ended his self-imposed social media hiatus until signing a new contract and referred to Pittsburgh as his "home" but contract details have yet to come out. The offensive tackle tore his ACL in September and has been recovering since.
