Detroit Lions defensive lineman John Cominsky has retired from the NFL due to injuries, the 29-year-old revealed on Instagram in a lengthy statement.
Cominsky last played in the NFL during the 2023 season after he tore his MCL during training camp last year.
Cominsky only played for six seasons in the NFL, ending his career before his fourth decade of life begins.
‘After 6 years in the NFL, I am officially medically retiring,’ Cominsky said on Instagram. ‘I am proud of the career I had, but have accumulated a combination of injuries that are overwhelming my desire to continue playing.’
‘Thank you to the Atlanta Falcons for believing in me and drafting an under the radar DII prospect. Thank you to the Detroit Lions for grabbing me off waivers and giving me a second contract and allowing me to show what I can do as an NFL starter.’
‘Thank you to the front offices and coaches that helped build me up and believed in me. Who would have thought a small town Barberton, Ohio QB would find his way to sacking NFL QBs?’
