Cominsky (ankle) did not participate during Wednesday's practice session, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE 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 an injury designation heading into last Sunday's game against the Panthers, but very likely showed warning signs that he was not totally healthy during warmups, as he did not field a single special teams or defensive snap during the contest.

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

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

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

Cominsky suffered an ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The good news for Cominsky is that the Falcons have a bye next week, and coach Dan Quinn said he's "hopeful" the rookie defensive lineman will be able to play in Week 10 at New Orleans. The 23-year-old has six tackles (two solo) while serving in a rotational role through his first eight games.

Cominsky (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against Seattle, Wendy Adams of the Falcons Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cominsky suffered the injury late in the first quarter, and as evidenced by this news, seems to be dealing with a serious-enough injury to force him to miss time. Allen Bailey and Adrian Clayborn will continue to receive the depth snaps at defensive end.

Cominsky (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Seattle, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how Cominsky picked up the injury, but he was forced to exit the contest late in the first quarter. As long as he's sidelined, Allen Bailey and Adrian Clayborn are still in line to receive the depth snaps at defensive end.

Cominsky accounted for six total tackles, including one tackle for loss, one sack and a fumble recovery during Thursday's 14-10 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Cominsky is building momentum this summer, not only making his presence felt in training camp, but also by being arguably the most impactful defensive player in the Hall of Fame Game. Just nine days after Coach Dan Quinn complimented Cominsky's assimilation to the Falcons' defense and admitted that he has potential to contribute immediately, the rookie fourth-rounder led the defense in tackles, and served as a constant disturbance in the Broncos' backfield -- forcing two negative plays for the offense, and also recording one QB hit.

Coach Dan Quinn noted that Cominsky has a chance to contribute to the Falcons defense early in the 2019 season, Kelsey Conway of the team's official site reports. "Coming in... I didn't know when it would be that he could help us in 2019," Quinn said of the rookie defensive end. "We've got five or six weeks to see if he could be there for the start (of the season) to help. And (seeing) the way he works, you wouldn't put it past him."
EDGE Analysis
Imagine a player facing Glenville State in the final game of his collegiate career, and 10 months later lining up across from the Vikings offensive line in a regular-season NFL game. That is exactly what Cominsky, the first NFL draft choice to come out of Charleston (WV) since 1943, aspires to achieve. With ample size (6-foot-5, 285 pounds) and outstanding but raw athletic ability, Cominsky could easily find himself as a second-team defensive end across from Adrian Clayborn by Week 1.
