The Facts: Following up on an ongoing story. ... Whether it was running an out pattern or sprinting straight down the field, Banks looked like his old self during the team’s second player-organized mini-camp practice Wednesday morning. Banks said he is “probably 90 percent healthy. I’m just trying to get the rust off my knees and my back. ... I’m back ready to play football."

Diehards Line:As CSN's Ryan O'Halloran suggests, that Banks is even able to participate in the workouts is fortunate considering his offseason.

Banks was one of the few pleasant surprises for the Redskins last year, returning 46 kickoffs and 38 punts for respective averages of 11.3 and 25.1 yards. A knee injury limited Banks’ playing time to strictly special teams during the second half of the season. He played only 14 offensive snaps (1.3 percent) the entire year. But the receiver race is wide open and Banks wants to take advantage.
