Cominsky underwent thumb surgery Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cominsky was listed as a non-participant Wednesday due to a wrist injury in the Lions' practice report, so the exact extent of the injury is still unclear. However, what is known is the 26-year old is expected to miss multiple weeks, although the team is not expected to place him on IR just yet.

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

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

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

Cominsky (shoulder) is no longer listed on Atlanta's injury report, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE 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 and 14 special teams snaps in Week 4.

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

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

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

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

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.
EDGE 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.
