Commanders' Mike Sainristil: Four INTS in second season
Sainristil had 85 tackles (51 solo) and four interceptions among his 12 passes defensed in 2025. He also returned one punt for no gain.

The 2024 second-round draft pick is likely to maintain a starting cornerback role for the Commanders in his third NFL campaign after doubling his rookie-season total with four interceptions in 2025.

Sainristil (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Sainristil missed the first two practices of the week due to a knee injury, but he has been cleared to play in Week 5 after practicing in full Friday. The 2024 second-rounder has 20 tackles (12 solo) and one interception through the first four games of the regular season.

Commanders' Mike Sainristil: Doesn't practice Thursday
Sainristil (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Sainristil has missed the first two practices of the week due to a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Falcons. The 2024 second-rounder has travelled with the team to Los Angeles despite missing practice, so it appears he has a chance to play Sunday against the Chargers depending on his participation in Friday's session. Noah Igbinoghene and Antonio Hamilton would be candidates to see more snaps on defense at the slot corner position if Sainristil is unable to play.
