NFL star Aidan Hutchinson suffers gruesome leg injury during Detroit Lions’ game against the Dallas Cowboys
Detroit Lions defensive star Aidan Hutchinson suffered a suspected broken leg against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Hutchinson, the NFL’s sack leader, suffered the injury early in the third quarter as he tried to tackle Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
The 24-year-old’s leg collided with teammate Alim McNeill who was coming from the other direction and, as Hutchinson fell to the ground, the damage was obvious.
Both sets of players took a knee next to him and said prayers while Hutchinson was given medical treatment.
Hutchinson was drafted with the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL draft and has proven to be a transformative presence for the Lions, who are Super Bowl contenders this season.

If he has broken his leg, it will likely be the end of Hutchinson’s season after just six games.
FOX refused to show replays of the incident while former NFL star JJ Watt posted on social media that the injury was ‘horrific’.
The Lions were in full control when the incident happened after roaring into a huge 34-6 lead at AT&T Stadium.
