What grade did PFF give Caleb Banks in Week 8 against the Steelers?

Caleb Banks gets looked at by PFF after his performance against the Lions.

In Week 8 against the Steelers, Caleb Banks played a baker's dozen snaps in Minnesota's first loss of the season. According to PFF analyst Dalton Wasserman, Banks made one tackle in the run game. However, he did not generate any pressure across five pass-rush snaps. This performance resulted in Banks receiving a specific grade from PFF, which highlights his overall contribution during that game.

Despite his limited impact, Banks will continue to receive rotational reps behind the veterans on Minnesota's defensive line, along with rookie Domonique Orange. This assessment indicates that Banks' development is progressing gradually, as is common for most rookies in Brian Flores' defense. His involvement in the rotation represents a positive step, and he may be granted more playing time as the season advances.
