The Detroit Lions were able to make the NFC Championship Game last season and were in a great position to potentially make the Super Bowl but are now trying to get back to that spot with massive expectations. However, they are going to be a man short now as ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that defensive end John Cominsky suffered a torn MCL during Tuesday’s practice and will be out indefinitely.
However, there is some optimism that he would be able to return in the postseason if the Detroit Lions can make it back. Cominsky was entering his third season with the Lions (sixth overall) and started 11 games. He finished with a career-high 36 total tackles, two sacks, eight QB hits and a pass deflection. In the playoffs, he recorded seven total tackles, a pair of quarterback hits and a pass deflection.

Cominsky was projected to be a backup defensive end this season as the team has Marcus Davenport and Aiden Hutchinson at the defensive end spots but this is still a massive blow to the Detroit Lions.
