Paschal (back) wasn't activated off the NFI list before the expiration of his 21-day practice window and is therefore ineligible to play for the remainder of this season, Christian Booher of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal was placed on the non-football injury list in August due to a back injury. He was designated to return Nov. 5, thus opening his 21-day window for activation. It appeared Paschal could be on the verge of returning when he was deemed a full participant in Monday's practice walkthrough, but he was labeled as DNP both Tuesday and Wednesday, and Detroit ultimately decided that he's not far enough in his recovery to suit up this season. Paschal's future with the team is very murky, as he's in the final year of his rookie contract.

Paschal (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal's 21-day practice window opened Nov. 5, but he hasn't recovered quite enough from a back injury to make his 2025 regular-season debut. Given that his window is set to expire, Paschal will likely be activated from the Lions' NFI list ahead of their Week 14 clash against the Cowboys on Thursday, Dec. 4.

Paschal (back) was considered a full participant at the Lions' walkthrough Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal has been slowly working his way back from a back injury that has sidelined him for the entirety of the season to this point, returning to practice Nov. 5. The offensive lineman will need to be activated from the non-football injury list by Thursday, or he'll remain unavailable for the rest of the year.

Paschal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal continues to work from a back injury that caused him to start the regular season on the NFI list. His 21-day window to return opened Nov. 5, so he'll have to be activated from the NFI list ahead of Thursday's game against the Packers, otherwise he would be forced to miss the remainder of the 2025 season.

Paschal (back) logged a limited practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal hasn't yet played this season and is still on the non-football injury list. He was designated to return to practice Nov. 5, so his 21-day window to return is less than a week away. It remains to be seen if Paschal will be activated in time to make his season debut against the Giants this Sunday.

Paschal (back) was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal is in the final stages of his recovery from a back injury from July that caused him to start the regular season on the NFI list. He's been limited in practice since returning to practice Nov. 12, and he'll likely have to log at least one full practice to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the Giants.

Paschal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal was limited in practice all week due to a back injury that he's been recovering from since July. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to make his 2025 debut Week 11 and will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list. Paschal's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Paschal (back) was a limited participant in Detroit's practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal has been on the active/non-football injury list since July but managed to practice for just the second time since getting hurt. If he's able to practice fully either Thursday or Friday, the 26-year-old could be activated ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.

Paschal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal's 21-day practice window to be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list opened Wednesday. He logged a trio of limited practices during Week 10 prep, but he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to be activated off the NFI list ahead of Sunday's road contest, so Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16 is his next opportunity to make his 2025 debut. Paschal is in the final stages of his recovery from a lingering back injury from the offseason.

Paschal (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Paschal was designated to return from the reserve/non-football injury list this week, ultimately making his return to practice Wednesday. The team has now opened a 21-day practice window for the 25-year-old to be activated from the NFI list, and if he fails to do so, he'd remain sidelined for the rest of the year.
