Cominsky (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE 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.

Cominsky agreed to restructure his contract with the Lions, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cominsky saw a drop in production from his 2022 numbers in 2023, recording 15 fewer pressures, along with two 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.

Cominsky recorded 36 tackles, two sacks and one pass defended over 16 games in 2023.
EDGE Analysis
Cominsky finished the season with the second-most snaps among Lions defensive linemen behind Aidan Hutchinson while starting 11 of the 16 games Cominsky was available. While he is a solid player, the Lions finished with the ninth-fewest sacks (41) in 2023 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, but it would not be a surprise if the Lions look to find an upgrade during the offseason.

EDGE Analysis

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

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