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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
