On Sunday, the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys squared off in a match that should have been between two NFC heavyweights. At the start of the fourth, the Lions were up 37-9, but it’s not all good news for the team after what happened to Aidan Hutchinson.
While sacking quarterback Dak Prescott, Hutchinson suffered a horrible leg injury that required him to be carted off the field. It’s speculated that a tibia and fibula break will sideline him for the rest of the year.

Future Hall of Fame defensive end JJ Watt tweeted about the situation.
Watt is right about the horrible injury.
Hutchinson has been a great young player for the emerging Lions, and his loss will be felt both on and off the field.
Hutchinson was certainly on pace to make another Pro Bowl in 2024 after one of the best starts to a season in his career.
Through the season’s first four games, he had 16 tackles, six tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hits, and a league-leading six-and-a-half sacks.
His numbers, as of now, should have also put him in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year, but that will all now be derailed.
Aidan Hutchinson Is Likely Done For The Year
Though it hasn’t been confirmed, the chances of Hutchinson’s season being over are highly likely.
If it is true that he broke his tibia and fibula, that is almost a certainty. According to Cleveland Clinic, a few months is the average recovery time for such an injury.
Of course, that’s just for normal people, not athletes who must return to performing extremely physical activities.
You can be confident that the Lions wouldn’t want to rush his return.

NBA fans are praying for basketball icon Michael Jordan following the emergence of a certain photo.
Jordan, who is widely considered to be the greatest NBA player of all time, was in France this week watching Monaco play Barcelona. The teams squared off for a UEFA Champions League showdown at the Louis II Stadium on Thursday, with the home side snatching a shocking 2-1 victory.
Photos of MJ in the stands quickly surfaced online, with his eyes a worrying shade of yellow.
Check it out below:
The outing hardly marked the first time Jordan’s eyes got fans talking, but it appears whatever the condition is has gotten worse. Most fans are of the view that he’s jaundiced due to excessive drinking and could be dealing with liver problems.
