It’s been a tough season for the Detroit Lions edge defenders. They’ve already lost Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, and John Cominsky to injured reserve. Of those four players, it appears only Cominsky has a realistic shot at returning this season.
The outlook for this week could be even more dire for the Lions, as the next man up—2022 second-round pick Josh Paschal—is dealing with what the team is calling an “illness.” Per coach Dan Campbell, Paschal will miss his third practice this week and is trending towards missing Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
