Josh Paschal

Lions declared DE Josh Paschal, RB Sione Vaki, LB Malcolm Rodriguez, OL Giovanni Manu, OL Christian Mahogany, OL Colby Sorsdal, and DL Mekhi Wingo inactive for Week 9 against the Packers.

This will be the second-straight missed game for Rodriguez, who suffered an ankle injury in Week 7. There’s a chance he could return for Week 10 against the Texans, but the Lions will be short two key players with Rodriguez and Paschal both out. The Lions’ defense could have its work cut out for them against a mostly-healthy Packers offense.
