Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson suffered a non-contact injury while celebrating a sack during the first quarter of Sunday’s game.

Hutchinson suffered the injury after sacking New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye on the first drive of Sunday’s game at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. The star edge rusher jumped in the air and appeared to land awkwardly on his right leg, which caused him to crumple to the ground.

The Lions would only say Hutchinson suffered a knee injury and was questionable to return. However, the sight of his lower leg buckling had many worried about a more long-term injury.

Hutchinson missed the bulk of the 2024 season due to a serious injury to his left leg. Needless to say, the Lions cannot afford to be without him for long, as he is the anchor of their defense and one of their most important players.

Hutchinson entered Sunday’s game with five sacks in eight games so far on the season.
