Overview

• Campbell indicated Paschal’s recovery is taking longer than expected and that he is likely to remain on the NFI list to start 2025, which would cost him at least the first four games.
• Paschal’s specific injury has not been disclosed after an earlier expectation he could return by early September.
• Rookie Ahmed Hassanein suffered a preseason pectoral injury against Miami, is rehabbing without surgery, and will be out for a while with the possibility of a longer absence not ruled out.
• With Paschal and Hassanein sidelined, Detroit’s depth behind starters Aidan Hutchinson and Marcus Davenport is thin, leaving greater reliance on inexperienced reserves.
• General manager Brad Holmes has kept the door open to a reunion with veteran Za’Darius Smith, though no agreement has been reached.
