Pascal is not practicing Saturday due to an illness, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal has been sidelined due to an illness since Wednesday, per EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but the Eagles' practice report indicates that the wideout is not dealing with COVID. The 27-year-old wideout is competing for a depth gig in Philadelphia's wide receiver corps, so it would benefit him to return to training camp as soon as possible.

Pascal is signing a one-year contract with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal caught only 38 passes last season despite playing 872 offensive snaps, but he does have the benefit of familiarity with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, who was the Colts' offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2020. The 27-year-old wideout now is set to compete with Quez Watkins and Jalen Reagor for roles behind No. 1 receiver DeVonta Smith, though the Eagles still have plenty of time to add another receiver (or two) to that mix.

Pascal had one reception for seven yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal had another season of being a reliable, if not spectacular, contributor in Indy's offense with 38 receptions for 384 yards and three touchdowns, but averaged just 10.1 yards per reception -- his lowest since his rookie season (9.9). It's not clear if he's in Indy's plans for 2022 as he'll be a free agent.

Pascal had one reception for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal returned after missing a game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He played on 34 of the offense's 56 snaps, which was slightly more than Ashton Dulin's 27 snaps and represented a season low in percentage of those plays. Pascal may see more activity in the third receiver role next week against Jacksonville.

The Colts reinstated Pascal (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After testing positive for the virus last Saturday, Pascal was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list just hours before the Colts' eventual win over the Cardinals. Though he missed the Colts' first official Week 17 practice while in isolation, the wideout should get back on the field Thursday and Friday and put himself on a path to play Sunday against the Raiders. The return of Pascal will likely result in a smaller role for Ashton Dulin, who handled his third-largest offensive snap share (43 percent) of the season Week 16.

Pascal has been placed on the reserve/COVID 19 list by the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, wide receiver Keke Coutee was elevated from the team's practice squad. In Pascal's absence, Michael Pittman, T.Y. Hilton and Ashton Dulin are slated to lead Indy's wideout corps in Saturday night's game against the Cardinals.

Pascal caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 27-17 win over New England.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal's modest stat line was enough to lead the Colts in receiving yards, as the team took a page out of the Patriots' playbook against Buffalo and completed just five passes while trampling New England with the running game. After totaling a season-high 58 receiving yards in Week 9 against the Jets, Pascal has just six catches for 50 yards in five subsequent games.

Pascal caught one of his three targets for six yards and added one rushing attempt for 12 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal finished third on the team in targets behind Michael Pittman (eight) and Nyheim Hines (four), but he was only able to haul in one of them for a modest gain. Over his last two games, the wideout has garnered 10 targets, but he has caught just three passes for 18 yards. This is certainly a concerning trend and likely makes Pascal a risky fantasy option when the Colts resume action Week 15 against the Patriots.

Pascal secured two of seven targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal's seven targets in Sunday's loss matched his second-highest total of the season, but he failed to generate much production on his two catches. The 26-year-old racked up a season-high 58 receiving yards in Week 9 but has hauled in four of 10 targets for 21 yards while rushing once for nine yards across the last three games.

Pascal did not have a catch and only one target in Sunday's win at Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Pascal's lack of production was due to Indy's success running the ball (264 yards rushing) as the Colts attempted just 20 passes. Pascal played on 54 of the offense's 69 snaps and should get more activity Sunday against Tampa Bay.
