Lions’ worst Aidan Hutchinson fears realized as knee injury threatens season

Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is feared to have suffered a significant knee injury that could end his season, after being hurt during Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. The injury would be a major setback for the Lions and the second time in three seasons that an injury has significantly disrupted Hutchinson’s campaign.

Hutchinson injured his knee while celebrating a sack on Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who was also hurt on the play and left the game. Hutchinson landed awkwardly after a spinning jump, grabbed his knee and limped to the locker room; he was later ruled out. The game was played in Munich, Germany, and reports said Hutchinson could be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
