  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Full practice Thursday

    Paschal (knee) was a full participant at the Lions' practice Thursday.

    Paschal missed the team's Week 14 win over the Packers before he opened this week as a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury. His full practice Thursday eliminates any concern over his chances to play Sunday versus the Bills. Paschal will likely return to his starting role at defensive end against Buffalo.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Limited to begin Week 15 prep

    Paschal (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Paschal hurt his knee Week 13 against Chicago, and he missed last Thursday's win over the Packers. However, he's trending in a better direction this week by opening with a limited practice, as he was unable to take the field at all in the lead-up to the victory over the Packers. In Paschal's absence Week 14, Patrick O'Connor logged a season-high 82 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Sidelined for Week 14

    Paschal (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Paschal didn't practice all week after suffering a knee injury in Detroit's Thanksgiving Day win over the Bears, so it's no surprise he won't be active for Week 14. The Lions could struggle rushing the passer Thursday night, with both Paschal and Aidan Hutchinson (tibia/fibula) sidelined. Patrick O'Connor and Za'Darius Smith are now expected to serve as Detroit's primary edge-rushing duo.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Listed as DNP on Monday

    Paschal (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Despite Monday's DNP, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported that the knee injury Paschal sustained in Detroit's Week 13 win over the Bears isn't believed to be serious. The Lions are already thin at edge rusher, with Aidan Hutchinson (tibia/fibula) sidelined for the remainder of the regular-season. Paschal is likely in jeopardy of missing Detroit's divisional matchup against the Packers on Thursday night, even if he manages to upgrade to limited practice participation Tuesday or Wednesday.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Injury not deemed serious

    The knee injury Paschal suffered in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Bears isn't believed to be serious, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

    Paschal will require some rehab for the knee injury, but it isn't believed to be season-ending. The Lions will play on Thursday again in Week 14 against the Packers, and Paschal's level of practice participation leading up to that game will help determine his chances of suiting up.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Ruled out Thursday

    Paschal (knee) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Bears.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Hurts knee, iffy to return Thursday

    Paschal suffered a knee injury in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against Chicago and has been deemed questionable to return.

    Paschal's injury came on a Bears pass attempt in the second quarter. The defensive end was initially looked at on the sideline before heading to the locker room. Patrick O'Connor could see more defensive snaps for as long as Paschal remains off the field.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Past illness

    Paschal (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Paschal had missed the Lions' last two games due to an illness, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's past the issue. The third-year defensive end from Kentucky has recorded nine total tackles through six appearances this season. He's expected to start opposite recent acquisition Za'Darius Smith as part of the Lions' top edge-rushing duo in Week 10, when the team travels to Houston

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Won't play in Week 9

    Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that Paschal (illness) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Campbell noted that Paschal is expected to return to practice next week; however, he's now in line to miss his second consecutive game with an illness. With Paschal sidelined in Week 9, the Lions' defensive end room will consist of just James Houston, Patrick O'Connor and Isaiah Thomas.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Logs DNP

    Paschal (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Paschal missed the Lions' win over the Titans on Sunday due to illness, and also missed practice each day leading up to the game. It's worth noting he previously told Twentyman he would be ready for Week 9 against the Packers, although according to head coach Dan Campbell, the Kentucky product's status for the matchup is still to be determined.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Won't play in Week 8

    Paschal (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Paschal didn't practice throughout the week due to an illness, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. The 24-year-old defensive end then told reporters Friday that he'll return for the Lions' Week 9 matchup against the Packers, per Tim Twentyman of the team's official site. Expect Isaac Ukwu and Patrick O'Connor to see increased work with Detroit's first-team defense in Paschal's stead.
