On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions were awarded defensive lineman John Cominsky off the NFL waiver wire, giving them another potential weapon on their highly reformed defensive line. However, Detroit was far from the only team interested in adding Cominsky. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, there were seven other teams that put in a waiver claim for Cominsky: the Washington Commanders, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Detroit was awarded Cominsky because they have the highest waiver priority of the eight teams, which is currently determined by 2021 standings.
