Commanders cornerback Mike Sainristil struggles and faces uncertain future

Washington Commanders cornerback Mike Sainristil has been struggling in the 2026 season and is reportedly benched after a disappointing performance last year. His snap counts have significantly dropped, with just five plays in Week 4 against the Colts, down from 54 in Week 1. Pro Football Focus rates Sainristil 101st out of 101 qualifying cornerbacks, reflecting ongoing difficulties. With the imminent return of Trey Amos, Sainristil's position may be further jeopardized, as the team recently worked out three cornerbacks. The future of Sainristil on the team appears increasingly uncertain amid these developments.
