Aidan Hutchinson had a devastating leg injury last year that prematurely knocked him out for the season. The Detroit Lions star pass rusher’s recovery is going well though and is ready to rock and roll for training camp.

That’s what Hutchinson said ahead of the Lions reporting this summer. He’s where he needs to be ahead of his fourth season with Detroit.

Hutchinson was a missing piece, among many, to Detroit’s defense in 2024. Despite a No. 1 seed, the Lions lost in the NFC Divisional Round but Hutchinson is ready to return and rectify any errors.

“I’m exactly where I need to be,” Hutchinson told CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson this week. “Every year I’ve been able to improve on my own physical attributes along with the mental ones, so I feel like every year I take a step. Despite having that rehab this offseason, I feel like I’m in the perfect spot and exactly where I need to be going into Year 4.”

Kelvin Sheppard is the new defensive coordinator after Aaron Glenn left for the New York Jets’ head coaching vacancy. Hutchinson isn’t concerned about any changes when he returns from injury.
