News

  • Goes on IR

    Cominsky (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Cominsky's shift to IR was a likely formality after he suffered an MCL tear during practice in July. A return this season isn't impossible for the Charleston product, although he likely wouldn't be cleared to suit up until the postseason.

  • Suffers MCL tear

    Cominsky suffered an MCL tear during Detroit's practice Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky will now be out indefinitely, although he could possibly return for the playoffs if the Lions advance that far. Detroit is now shorthanded at defensive end behind starters Aidan Hutchinson and Marcus Davenport.

  • Agrees to pay cut

    Cominsky agreed to restructure his contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky saw a drop in production from his 2022 numbers in 2023, recording 15 fewer pressures, along with 2.0 fewer sacks, despite playing two more games. The 28-year-old was due to be paid $5.1 million but agreed to a $2.1 million pay cut, bringing his 2024 cap hit down to $4.2 million instead of $6.3 million.

  • Logs 2.0 sacks in 2023

    Cominsky recorded 36 tackles, 2.0 sacks and one pass defended over 16 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: Cominsky finished 2023 with the second-most snaps among Lions defensive linemen behind Aidan Hutchinson while starting 11 of the 16 games for which he was available. While he is a solid player, the Lions finished with the ninth-fewest sacks (41) last season largely due to a lack of production behind Hutchinson, who finished sixth in the league with 11.5 sacks. Cominsky seems to have a good chance to stick in Detroit in 2024 even though his potential release could open $4.6 million in cap space,…read more

  • Good to go versus Rams

    Cominsky (illness) is active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Cominsky popped up on the Lions' injury report Friday after coming down with an illness, but he's healthy enough to suit up for the Lions' playoff contest. He finished the regular season with 36 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in 16 games.

  • Could miss wild-card outing

    Cominsky (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite a full week of practice, Cominsky seems to be dealing with an illness that could hold him out of the Lions' wild-card affair. If the 28-year-old is unable to suit up Sunday, expect Josh Paschal to shoulder an increased workload on Detroit's defensive line.

  • Notches sack in loss

    Cominsky recorded seven tackles (three solo), including a sack, in Detroit's 28-13 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: Cominsky had his best performance of the campaign during Sunday's loss, logging a season-high tackle tally. The 28-year-old was also able to register his second sack of the season to go along with 27 tackles (11 solo).

  • Back with Lions on two-year deal

    The Lions re-signed Cominsky to a two-year, $8.5 million contract Tuesday, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky enjoyed a career year in Detroit last season, his first with the Lions after spending his first three years in Atlanta. With the ability to play off the edge and line up inside, Cominsky is a valuable piece in defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn's defense. Cominsky recorded four sacks and batted three passes in 14 appearances last season.

  • Returning to action

    Cominsky (wrist) is active Sunday against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Cominsky underwent surgery on his hand at the end of September, but he'll suit up for the first time since Week 2 when he suffered the injury. His return should be a boost to the Lions' pass rush.

    Published: Sun, Oct 23 at 9:01am by Rotowire.com

  • Ruled out

    Cominsky (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Cominsky underwent thumb surgery on his right hand at the end of September, but he's still being listed with a wrist injury. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but his next chance to suit up will be in Week 7 against the Cowboys.

    Published: Fri, Oct 7 at 6:44pm by Rotowire.com

  • Gets thumb surgery

    Cominsky underwent thumb surgery Tuesday on his right thumb and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a wrist injury, but recovering from the thumb procedure will now be his top concern. The Lions aren't yet placing him on injured reserve, so the 26-year-old defensive lineman may miss fewer than four games.

    Published: Wed, Sep 21 at 2:55pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Held out of practice Wednesday

    Cominsky didn't practice Wednesday due to a wrist injury.

    Analysis: Cominsky played 31 defensive snaps against Washington and recorded a sack, but he presumably picked up a wrist injury as well. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but the reserve defensive lineman's participation at practice Thursday and Friday should provide further clarity on his availability for Week 3.

  • Claimed by Detroit

    Cominsky was awarded to the Lions off waivers Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old defensive lineman was in line to have his role expanded going into his fourth year in the NFL before the Falcons decided to let him go last week. He'll likely have a tougher time finding playing time in Detroit, which just beefed up an already-solid front four by selecting Aidan Hutchinson with the second overall pick in this year's draft. Cominsky will compete with the likes of Levi Onwuzurike and John Penisini for rotational snaps in 2022.

  • Cut by Atlanta

    Cominsky was waived by the Falcons on Thursday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky played 27 games primarily as a rotational defensive lineman over three campaigns with Atlanta, tallying 41 tackles and 1.5 sacks over this span, but he figured to fill in as the team's starting left defensive end this coming season. The 2019 fourth-round pick dealt with various injuries that limited him to a total of just 59 snaps over four games last year. Cominsky's cut could mean that third-year backup Nick Thurman steps up into a bigger role for the Falcons in 2022.

  • No longer on injury report

    Cominsky (shoulder) is no longer listed on Atlanta's injury report, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This latest practice report likely means Cominsky was a healthy scratch in Week 10 against Dallas. He's appeared in just two games this season, logging 17 special-teams snaps and two defensive snaps in Week 1, as well as 14 special-teams snaps in Week 4.

    Published: Mon, Nov 15 at 8:55pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Not playing against Dallas

    Cominsky (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky was a limited participant in Friday's session and ultimately won't suit up. The Falcons will be quite thin in terms of defensive depth, and this means Mike Pennel will probably handle a bigger workload than usual.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Cominsky is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Cominsky suited up in last week's season opener but played mainly on special teams. He'll be a healthy scratch in Week 2, while Marlon Davidson will serve as depth on the defensive line.

  • Not on injury report

    Cominsky (head) was absent from Wednesday's injury report, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky is expected to start the season as a backup on the Falcons' defensive line. The 2019 fourth-round pick has recorded 39 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups through 23 career games.

  • Head injury in win

    Cominsky was being evaluated for a head injury in the Falcons' preseason game on Friday, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The third-year defensive end exited the game in the fourth quarter and did not return. There is still no news on what exactly Cominsky's injury is, but if he's forced to miss time, look for Zac Dawe and Ta'Quon Graham to receive extra practice reps in his stead.

  • Concludes 2020 with 28 tackles

    Cominsky, who did not record a tackle during Atlanta's 44-27 Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers, ended the season with 28 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery over 13 games.

    Analysis: Cominsky has inherited a steady rotational role along the defensive line as he enters the third frame of a four-year Falcons contract in 2021. The Charleston (WV) standout saw a huge increase in his usage during 2020, earning the first start of his NFL career while fielding 30.6 defensive snaps per game. As a rookie in 2019, Cominsky logged just 10 defensive snaps per contest while totaling 11 tackles over 10 appearances.

  • Taken off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Cominsky (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky has been cleared again after spending two weeks on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Falcons already played their Week 8 game Thursday, but Cominsky should be able to practice next week and rejoin his teammates on the field in Week 9 against Denver.

    Published: Fri, Oct 30 at 11:21am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Lands on COVID list

    The Falcons placed Cominsky on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky was listed as questionable Friday with what was apparently a non-COVID illness, but it appears he may have contracted the virus or come in close contact with someone infected. The 24-year-old defensive tackle will need to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols before returning to team activities. Chris Slayton and Deadrin Senat are both expected to log increased workloads until Cominsky returns.

  • Questionable heading into Week 6

    Cominsky (illness) is listed as questionable with Atlanta entering its Week 6 matchup against the Vikings, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old defensive lineman is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness as the 0-5 Falcons lumber into U.S. Bank Stadium to face Minnesota's 15th-ranked scoring offense. Cominsky has contributed little in the pass-rush department since entering the league in 2019, collecting three QB hits and half a sack over 15 appearances. He does, however, have a tackle for loss in consecutive outings coming into Week 6. Whether Cominsky is afforded an opportunity to extend that streak may come down to…read more

  • Commended by star teammate

    Grady Jarrett says he has been "really, really impressed" with Cominsky in training camp, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jarrett expanded by stating that he has "100-percent confidence" in the second-year man out of Division-II Charleston (WV), and that "it's night and day" regarding the improvements Cominsky has made to his game since wrapping up his first professional season in late December. Cominsky fielded a mere 10 percent of the defensive snaps during 2019, but based on the fact that both his Pro Bowl teammate and his head coach have noticed serious strides in his skill set, it's likely his 2020 workload…read more

  • More playing time coming in 2020

    Coach Dan Quinn said he expects Cominsky's role to increase during the upcoming season, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons were able to bring aboard Dante Fowler to a three-year deal during free agency, but the team is dealing with a flurry of departures elsewhere along the defensive line. Between Vic Beasley, Adrian Clayborn and Jack Crawford leaving in free agency, Atlanta must replace 1,656 defensive snaps. The 24-year-old Cominsky collected 11 tackles, two pass deflections and half a sack across 10 appearances during his rookie year, but he'll likely see an uptick in involvement and production in…read more

  • Makes 10 appearances as rookie

    Cominsky accounted for 11 tackles, two pass deflections, two QB hits and half a sack during his rookie campaign out of Charleston (WV).

    Analysis: The 24-year-old Cominsky earned his way onto the 53-man roster by virtue of a promising preseason display, but he ultimately had just five outings during the regular season with greater than seven defensive snaps. He finished tied for sixth on the team with 12 tackles during the exhibition slate, while logging one sack and a fumble recovery during the preseason opener against Denver. During the regular season, Cominsky missed six games with an ankle injury, but he returned late in the year and…read more

  • All clear Monday

    Cominsky (ankle) was not listed with an injury on Monday's practice estimate, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky missed Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to the injury, and as evidenced by this news, he's shaken off the issue. Barring a setback, expect the 2019 fourth-round pick to suit up in Thursday's game against the Saints in his usual depth role across the defensive line.

  • Ruled out Week 12

    Cominsky (ankle) is inactive for the team's Week 12 contest against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Cominsky practiced on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday but is set to miss his third consecutive contest. He has played only a depth role along the team's defensive line, so his absence won't have a major impact on Sunday's outcome.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Cominsky (ankle) is questionable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky practiced as a limited participant Thursday and Friday to earn the questionable tag. The 24-year-old didn't have an injury designation for last week's game against the Panthers after missing the previous game, but he didn't end up seeing the field.

  • Trending in the right direction

    Cominsky (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick out of Charleston could not go Wednesday, so the fact that he was able to get in some reps Thursday indicates that he's trending towards retaking the field in the near future. Cominsky has been forced to sit out back-to-back games for the Falcons after dressing for every contest between Weeks 1 and 8. If Cominsky proves healthy enough to play Sunday, he will be facing a Buccaneers offense that so far this season has surrendered the fourth-most sacks per game (3.6),…read more

  • Unable to practice Wednesday

    Cominsky (ankle) did not participate during Wednesday's practice session, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie defensive end has been forced to miss Atlanta's past two games against the Saints and Panthers, and early indications are not promising for his Week 12 status. Cominsky carries a questionable designation and still has an opportunity to get on the practice field Thursday or Friday, but he will have to show he can shed blocks and run on his injured ankle before the coaching staff puts him in the lineup for a matchup against the Buccaneers' sixth-ranked scoring offense. He was clear of…read more

  • Set to face Panthers

    Cominsky (ankle) does not carry an injury tag for Sunday's tilt against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky practiced in a limited capacity Friday, and he appears to have fully recovered from the ankle sprain that sidelined him Week 10. Expect the rookie fourth-round pick to play his usual reserve role along Atlanta's defensive line versus the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Cominsky (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Cominsky suffered an ankle sprain Week 8 and needs additional time to recover coming out of the bye week. The 23-year-old has played double-digit defensive snaps only three times this season, so Atlanta's defense is unlikely to be significantly impacted by his absence.

  • Sits out Monday's session

    Cominsky (ankle) was unable to go for Monday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The rookie defensive end suffered a sprained ankle during Atlanta's Week 8 loss to Seattle, and his status for Sunday's matchup against New Orleans' 15th-ranked scoring offense remains undetermined. Cominsky is yet to earn his first career regular-season start and has only played on more than 15 defensive snaps once, but he remains an interesting developmental backup after amassing 12 tackles and a sack during the preseason.
