Paschal finished the 2024 season with 21 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season games. With Aidan Hutchinson suffering a broken leg in Week 6 against Dallas, Paschal took on an increased defensive role, starting all 10 games in which he appeared from that point forward. Paschal missed three contests along the way, battling an illness and knee injury. Despite Paschal seeing increased reps off the edge for Detroit, his sack numbers didn't see a boost, as he's recorded a total of 5.0 sacks across his first 36 career contests. It's been a somewhat disappointing start to his career after the Lions took Paschal with the No. 46 overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. He's set to enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2025.

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.
