Another week, another injury concern for the Detroit Lions, a team that has been absolutely ravaged by injuries this season. Defensive end Josh Paschal is the latest Lions player to get banged up.
Paschal suffered an apparent leg injury in the second quarter of the Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving. The Lions are no strangers to edge rusher injuries after having lost both Marcus Davenport and Aidan Hutchinson.
Paschal was able to walk off the field under his own power, which is a good sign that he isn't dealing with anything catastrophic. However, we'll still be closely monitoring his status the rest of the game. Below are the latest updates on the Lions edge rusher.

Of all the injuries to #Lions players today, Dan Campbell says he's most worried about Malcolm Rodriguez. Seems pretty serious but didn't get into details.
