  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Placed on IR

    Paschal (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Paschal will be forced to miss at least the next four contests while nursing a knee injury he suffered this week. The defensive end recorded three tackles while playing 17 defensive snaps in Week 1 versus the Chiefs.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Ruled out

    Paschal (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Paschal missed Friday's practice with a knee injury, and he's since been ruled out for Sunday's contest. The 23-year-old recorded three total tackles, including one tackle for loss, during Detroit's Week 1 victory over Kansas City. Paschal's role as a rotational edge rusher will most likely be filled by Levi Onwuzurike against Seattle.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Two sacks during rookie season

    Paschal recorded 16 tackles and two sacks over 10 games in 2022.

    While a sports hernia injury delayed the debut of the second-round rookie out of Kentucky, Paschal handled over 81 percent of the defensive snaps in each of his first three career games only to suffer a knee injury in Week 10. After returning in Week 13 -- one week after James Houston burst onto the scene -- Paschal topped 28 percent of the defensive snaps only once, though he did flash his upside during with a two-sack performance in Week 16 against the Panthers. It's not clear how the edge rotation will look in 2023, but Paschal figures to be a key piece of an improving Detroit defensive front one way or the other.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Slated to play Sunday

    Paschal (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Paschal missed the last two games due to a knee injury and was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday this week. However, he practiced fully Friday and will be able to return to action against Jacksonville.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Not playing Thanksgiving

    Paschal (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus Buffalo.

    Paschal will miss his second consecutive game while dealing with a knee injury he presumably sustained in Week 10 at Chicago. With Charles Harris (groin) also out in Week 12, Austin Bryant should be in line to start opposite Aidan Hutchinson on Detroit's front four Thursday.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Won't play Sunday

    Paschal (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Paschal was unable to practice at all during Week 11 prep due to a knee injury he presumably picked up in Week 10. Charles Harris (groin) is also out, so John Cominsky and Julian Okwara are candidates for increased roles opposite Aidan Hutchinson along Detroit's defensive line.
