John Cominsky, a former defensive end for the Detroit Lions, announced his retirement from the NFL due to medical issues. After six seasons, including five with the Lions and Falcons, Cominsky cited overwhelming injuries as the reason for his decision. He missed the entire 2024 season after suffering a torn MCL during training. Throughout his career, Cominsky accumulated 107 tackles and 7.5 sacks, and he played a significant role in the Lions’ progression to the NFC Championship Game. His farewell post expressed gratitude to both teams and highlighted lessons learned throughout his journey.
"After 6 years in the NFL, I am officially medically retiring. I am proud of the career I had, but have accumulated a combination of injuries that are overwhelming my desire to continue playing."
'I learned a lot in my time playing ball, that will absolutely benefit me moving forward. I had the privilege to play in a lot of big time games on big time stages.'
'I shared the field with players I had admired as a young athlete. I shook hands with hall of famers and wrote my own chapter in this game.'
