The Detroit Lions suffered a major loss to their roster on Sunday when defensive end Aidan Hutchinson suffered a fractured tibia and fibula and underwent surgery in Texas.

The Lions released an update Monday saying Hutchinson’s surgery went well and he is expected to make a full recovery. However, the timetable for his return is currently unknown.

Meanwhile, NFL fans speculated about who could replace Hutchinson, who was arguably having his best year yet, on the Lions’ roster. Many fans implored three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt to come out of retirement to replace Hutchinson.

Watt responded to those requests on Monday, and it sounds like he would rather retire.

“Haha, once or twice,” Watt replied when a fan asked how many times he had been asked to come out of retirement. “Lions fans, I see, hear and appreciate you. I love your team, love Detroit and love Hutch. Except for him. This morning I poured myself a cup of coffee and went for a walk by the lake with my wife and son before breakfast. I really enjoy this phase of my life.”

It doesn’t sound like Watt will rejoin an NFL roster.

Watt was one of the first NFL stars to respond to Hutchinson’s injury during Sunday’s stunning 47-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The retired Houston Texan knows what it’s like to suffer a major injury like Hutchinson’s, as there were four seasons in his career (2016, ’17, ’19 and ’21) where he missed a large portion of the season due to injury. His injury in 2017 was similar to Hutchinson’s: He suffered a fractured tibia in his left leg, which required surgery the day after the game.
