Brian Banks, the exonerated linebacker we followed through minicamps, has found a home with the Las Vegas Locomotives of the UFL.

Banks had tryouts with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers after serving five-plus years in prison on a wrongful conviction for rape. He'll play for former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel, now the UFL coach in Las Vegas. Fassel's son, John, is the St. Louis Rams' special-teams coach.

Here's the short news story.
