Detroit Lions star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson suffered a serious injury in a stunning win over the Dallas Cowboys.

In the third quarter, Hutchinson sacked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. But instead of jumping up to celebrate, Hutchinson remained on the grass in visible pain. The Lions later confirmed that the third-year edge rusher suffered a broken tibia during the game, requiring him to undergo season-ending surgery.

Despite finding himself in a difficult situation, Hutchinson decided to share an encouraging message through his social media platform.

“We are pleased to report that Aidan’s surgery was a success. Thank you to the doctors and nurses who took such good care of him. Aidan wants you all to know that his healing and redemption story has begun. He sticks to the motto Detroit is close to his heart: It will rise from the ashes.

The Lions released a statement saying the defensive lineman should make a “full recovery.”

“Hutchinson will return to Detroit this week and is expected to make a full recovery. There is currently no timetable for his return to play.”

Lions head coach Dan Campbell recognized how difficult it is to lose a player of Hutchinson’s caliber.

“He’s in good hands right now,” Campbell told reporters on Sunday. “He is taken care of. He will stay here. Obviously he’s going to be out for a while. That’s hard. It’s hard to lose someone like him, but we’ll know a lot more afterward. Obviously wish him all the best.”

Hutchinson is one of the reasons the Lions’ defense has seen an upswing since the 2022 season. Detroit selected him with the No. 2 overall pick that year, and he immediately performed strongly. With 9.5 sacks and three interceptions, he finished second in the 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year category.
