Introduction: Lions edge rusher

ARLINGTON, Texas – Detroit Lions star tight end Aidan
Hutchinson suffered a horrific tibia fracture during
Sunday’s 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

Hutchinson injured his left leg on a play in which
he sacked Cowboys quarterback Dak
Prescott. As Hutchinson brought down Prescott,

his foot collided with teammate Alim McNeil’s left
leg and it appeared to be broken above the ankle.

Members of the Lions and Cowboys quickly
surrounded Hutchinson as the team’s medics
rushed to his side. Hutchinson’s leg was placed

in an inflatable cast and he was wheeled around
on a cart. The Lions announced after the game that
Hutchinson underwent emergency surgery at a Dallas hospital.

“It’s disgusting for Hutch. It was hard. It was hard,”
Campbell said. He is now in good condition. in care
He will be here again and of course stay on the field
for a while. It’s hard to lose someone like him, but… we’ll get

through it. We know more about what
happens next and of course wish him all the best.
“This is an unpleasant loss for us. It’s a big, big
blow for us and it’s very personal for us right now

because of the kind of guy Aiden is and the
character he brings to the locker room. And to
this team,” Montgomery said. “Personally, I know a
guy like Aidan would be taken personally
because he was and is the heart of the team.”

Hutchinson, the second overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft,

has 7.5 sacks this season, the most by a Lions player
through five games since 1983, according to ESPN
Research (William Gay). Entering Week 6,
Hutchinson led the NFL in sacks, pressures and passing yards.

Without Hutchinson, Detroit will lean heavily on Josh Pascal, Levi Onwusurike, DJ Reeder and Isaac Ugwu. The injury could open the door again for James Houston, who sat out the Dallas game.

“We all sympathize with him 100 percent,” Onwuzurike said. “It’s hard to get a guy like Hatch out. This is difficult. He’s a freak. He will probably break the sack record this year. Therefore, when you lose such a person, it’s difficult, but I managed. Hungry boys… So boys, I 100 percent think they’ll get the deal done.

McNeil said he and his defensive teammates don’t expect any major changes in plans.

“We still want to get the ball advantage, give it away, get the lead, but I don’t think about it too much, maybe like a third attack, but I don’t really think about it. “Too much is going to change,” McNeil said as he left the locker room, according to ESPN. said the place. “There will be cycle changes and things like that, but I don’t think it will be anything too drastic.”
