His leg appeared to snap above the ankle in what looked to be a serious injury. He was quickly ruled out of the Game with a lower leg injury, which is likely a season-ending injury.
Fox did not show a replay of the play where Hutchinson suffered the injury, as Hutchinson’s leg was positioned at an unusual and painful angle.
The Lions’ medical crew stabilized his leg in an air cast before he was carted off.
Hutchinson has been one of the strong early contenders for NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award for his performance this season.
After the game concluded, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Hutchinson was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery immediately. The Lions are saying that the injury is a broken tibia.
