Commanders cornerback Mike Sainristil enters the third year of his career in 2026. Sainristil said he does not have a preference to play as an outside or inside cornerback and considers himself a playmaker wherever he lines up. Washington has been connected as a potential suitor for a wide receiver since December, but a deal has not emerged.
The team's quarterback said he does not have a sense of what will happen with the receiver and described the situation as outside his control.
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said the new offensive line coach will be a strong replacement for the coach who left the team this offseason. Fangio stated he had worked with the new coach for three years in Denver and expressed confidence that the coach will perform well.
Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas said the team has a ramp-up plan for his return from a Lisfranc injury while he also manages a shoulder issue. Thomas said the focus remains on being ready in September and that he is trusting the process. Thomas also commented on the arrival of the new head coach, noting the respect the coach commands and the emphasis on life principles in team meetings.
