The Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL this year. Their 12-2 record proves that, however, injuries have certainly started to pile up for this team. Many analysts are wondering if the injury bug is just too much to overcome.
However, there was one bright spot of injury news that Detroit should be able to rely on.
“I’ll Be Ready” Lions Get Massive Injury News Ahead Of 2024 Post-Season
There is a real solid chance that Detroit Lions star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson will join them on the field in New Orleans if they make it to the Super Bowl:
Hutchinson said he’s eyeing a February return after undergoing surgery in October to repair his fractured tibia and fibula.
“I’m at that mark and I’m on track for my goal of returning for the Super Bowl,” Hutchinson told “The Squeeze” podcast. “I keep telling all the boys when I see them in the facility, I’m like, ‘You guys just got to get there and I promise you I’m going to be back.'”
A clip of Hutchinson’s appearing on the podcast aired on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” on Tuesday when “The Squeeze” co-host Taylor Lautner was a guest of the show.
Hutchinson admitted that even his mother questioned whether he could actually return, but he said, “there’s no other way.” He has been spotted at recent Lions home games at Ford Field from a suite with his leg being propped up.
After a strong start to the season, in which he established himself as an early front-runner for the Defensive Player of the Year award, he injured his left leg on a play in which he was sacking Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during a Week 6 Lions victory.
Hutchinson’s leg appeared to snap above the ankle when it collided with the left leg of teammate Alim McNeill as Hutchinson was pulling Prescott down.
Here is a look at Hutchinson’s career stats:
