### Lions Overcome Injuries, Secure Dramatic Thanksgiving Victory Over Bears

DETROIT -- The defensive line of the Detroit Lions endured a barrage of injuries during their exciting Thanksgiving win against the Chicago Bears. Key players Josh Paschal and Levi Onwuzurike, suffering from knee and hamstring injuries respectively, were sidelined for the entire second half. Additionally, Mekhi Wingo and Za'Darius Smith sustained injuries during the match. Nevertheless, Smith managed to persevere, making crucial plays including 1.5 timely sacks.

Head coach Dan Campbell expressed a relatively optimistic outlook regarding the conditions of Paschal and Onwuzurike compared to Malcolm Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who previously missed games due to an ankle injury, left the game with a knee injury and did not return. His increased role had been vital, especially with linebackers Derrick Barnes, Alex Anzalone, and Jalen Reeves-Maybin already on injured reserve.

"I feel like it'll be OK. It could be a little bit. We may. They could be down for a bit. I'll be honest with you," Campbell mentioned, indicating that Paschal and Onwuzurike might be out for a short period. "I think Rodrigo is the one that could be the worst. And I don't know how significant it will be just yet. But he's the one I fear a little bit."

The team has relied heavily on Jack Campbell to lead the linebacker corps, with newcomer David Long making significant contributions in his first two games. Ben Niemann and Trevor Nowske also saw action, and Ezekiel Turner managed to share a sack with Smith.

When asked about the challenge of managing multiple injuries within one unit, Campbell emphasized a philosophy of resilience and adaptability. "Does it really matter? Like who cares," he asserted. "I go back to, man, it doesn't matter. If it is or it isn't or we get a guy back or we don't get a guy back. Worrying about it and moaning about it and (expletive) about it, it's like calls, right? It's like the call. It's like Vildor (defensive pass interference). I could sit there and throw a fit about it. But what does it matter? It's called. It's done."

Campbell concluded firmly, "I know this. Whoever we have available, we're going to get them ready to play. And we expect them to hold the line. Period. You got to do your job. And everybody around you is looking for you to do your job."

Despite the setbacks, the Lions demonstrated their depth and determination, securing a triumphant victory on a quintessential Thanksgiving Day game.
