ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Aidan Hutchinson is likely done playing this year because of the leg injury he sustained against the Cowboys, but surgery to repair his fractured tibia and fibula “went great” and Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday he isn't ready to declare his star pass rusher out for the season.
Hutchinson was carted off the field Sunday in the third quarter of Detroit's 47-9 win over Dallas and had surgery at Baylor White Medical Center.
“The surgery went great — it is all good news,” Campbell said. “It's probably 4-6 months, but I would never count Hutch out. It hurts, but if anyone could make it back, it is him.”
Hutchinson was set to return this week to Detroit from the Dallas-area hospital.
