In his first season with the Lions, the former fourth-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons recorded a total of four sacks, three passes defended and a forced fumble. He also posted 12 quarterback hits and 30 combined tackles across 14 games.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Detroit Lions NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the following offseason, the Lions inked Cominsky to a two-year deal worth $8.5 million, as they seemingly were impressed by his body of work in 2022 when he also got an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 68.2. In the 2023 season, Cominsky racked up 36 combined tackles, eight quarterback hits, 2.0 sacks and a pass defended through 16 games, including a career-high 11 starts.<\/p>\n<p>The latest update on Cominsky is another unwelcome piece of news for the Lions, whose defense has been ravaged by injuries. Nevertheless, Detroit remains on top of the NFC North division and the entire NFC with a 12-2 record heading into their Week 16 assignment versus the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field this coming Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>On the season, the Lions are seventh in the NFL with just 20.1 points allowed per game and 14th in total defense with 335.8 yards surrendered per contest.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detroit Lions head coach John Cominsky speaks up about John Cominsky&#8217;s status heading into the Week 16 matchup vs. Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[43],"class_list":["post-7112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions","tag-nfl-injury"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING NEWS: Lions&#039;
