Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson may have suffered another serious injury after going down during Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. Hutchinson leaped into the air to celebrate a sack of quarterback Drake Maye, then landed and collapsed. He later limped off the field with help from the team’s medical staff. The extent of the injury was not immediately known.
NFL injury analyst Jeff Mueller raised the possibility that the injury could be season-ending, suggesting Hutchinson may have torn his ACL. Mueller pointed to what he described as a significant shift in Hutchinson’s tibia before the defender fell and grabbed his knee. This was a preliminary assessment, not a confirmed diagnosis.
