The Detroit Lions lost one of the best pass rushers in football early last season. Aidan Hutchinson suffered a gruesome injury against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. Ruled out for the year, the road to recovery is still ongoing for the fourth-year player.
On Thursday, Hutchinson spoke on his recovery as the Lions faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers in the Hall of Fame Game. You can tell he is ready to put it behind him and anxious to get back on the field. Possibly something to get fans back in Detroit fired up.
“I’m completely healthy,” Hutchinson said in an interview with NBC. “Really, the injury is an afterthought now. I just hope that once I start playing, people will stop asking me and stop thinking about that injury. I’ve moved on, and I can’t wait until people see me on TV again playing football, and they can also move on as well.”
A broken tibia and fibula against the Cowboys meant the former No. 2 overall pick only played in five games during the 2024 season. He still got an incredible 7.5 sacks — 4.5 of which came in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — bringing his career total to 28.5.
