Detroit Lions cut Aldrick Rosas, kicking competition down to Austin Seibert, RIley Patterson

The Detroit Lions' kicking competition is down to two.

The Lions cut veteran kicker Aldrick Rosas on Tuesday and were awarded defensive John Cominsky off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons.

Rosas, a Pro Bowler with the New York Giants in 2018, spent part of last season on the Lions' practice squad, kicking in one game and making his only field goal attempt.

The Lions signed Rosas to a futures contract in February, but special teams coordinator Dave Fipp indicated Rosas was around in part because of concerns about Austin Seibert's health.

Seibert opened last season as Lions kicker, but missed the second half of the year after undergoing adductor surgery.
