Detroit Lions defensive star Aidan Hutchinson suffered a serious injury in the team’s 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Hutchinson was carted off after sacking Cowboys QB Dak Prescott in the third quarter of the win, the victim of a gruesome lower leg injury caused by a friendly-fire collision with a teammate.
The Lions revealed after the game that Hutchinson suffered a fractured tibia in his leg. He did not break both bones in the shin, nor did the bone break out of the skin. Hutchinson already had surgery to stabilize the injury and will remain in Dallas while the rest of the Lions return to Detroit.
“He’s in good hands right now,” Campbell said after the game. “He’s being taken care of … Obviously, he’s going to be down for a little while. So that’s tough, man. It’s hard when you lose somebody like him.”
Campbell added,
“It’s hard when you lose somebody like him. But, we’ll know a lot more after this and obviously, [we] wish him the best.”
