Lions star Aidan Hutchinson undergoes surgery to repair fractured tibia and fibula

In the third quarter, Hutchinson’s leg twisted around and unintentionally smacked teammate Alim McNeill while sacking Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

But after this, we’ll know a lot more, and we certainly wish him the best.” Jared Goff, the quarterback, was the player closest to Hutchinson as the whole Detroit sideline encircled him while trainers attended to him. As the cart rolled away, Hutchinson’s teammates spoke to him. “Those are challenging times. When something like that occurs to one of your teammates while you’re standing there, it’s difficult for everyone, Campbell said. “Our coaches and players have done an excellent job of just getting
