Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson made a huge play on the opening drive in Munich to end the Patriots’ attack with a sack. But what he did afterward may be the story of the game. Jumping into the air in celebration, Hutchinson landed on his feet, only to immediately crumple to the ground with an injury. After down on the field for a couple of minutes, Hutchinson was able to walk to the sideline on his own and into the blue tent.
After several minutes in the blue tent, Hutchinson walked gingerly to the locker room.
Hutchinson is obviously one of the most important players on the Lions, currently leading the entire NFL in pressures through nine weeks. He has 6.0 sacks on the season. Hutchinson is also just two years removed from a broken leg injury that shortened his 2024 season.
The Lions didn’t have an immediate update on Hutchinson’s situation, but we’ll update this post once we have more news.
