Lions lose defensive lineman John Cominsky to hand injury

The Detroit Lions are dealing with another injury issue coming out of last weekend's game against Washington, losing defensive lineman John Cominsky to a hand injury.

"Yeah, so he's going to be down for a little bit," Lions coach Dan Campbell said ahead of Wednesday's practice. "He had surgery yesterday and he'll be down for a little while."

Campbell noted the team had not yet decided to place Cominsky on injured reserve, which would open up a roster spot, but also require him to miss at least the next four games.

A spring waiver claim after he was released by the Atlanta Falcons, Cominsky quickly carved out a role as part of Detroit's defensive line rotation, logging 59 defensive snaps the first two weeks.
