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.

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.
Paschal (knee) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Bears. Paschal injured his knee in the second quarter and was ruled out as the teams came out of halftime. Through 10 games this season, he's posted 19 tackles, including 2.0 sacks.
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.
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
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.
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, while also missing practice each day leading up to the game. It's worth noting he told Twentyman previously 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.
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.
