“After 6 years in the NFL, I am officially retired from a medical point of view,” he wrote in a declaration published on his Instagram. “I am proud of the career I have had, but I have accumulated a combination of accidents that are crushing my desire to continue playing.
“Thanks to the Atlanta Falcons for believing in me and having drawn up a perspective under the DII radar. Thanks to the Detroit Lions for taking the exemptions and giving me a second contract and allowing me to show what I can do as a start of NFL. Qbs?”
Cominsky added that he “learned a lot” playing football and was grateful for having had the opportunity to share the field with the players who admired as a young athlete and tightening his hand with Hall of Famers.
