Although it was tough to tell exactly what happened at first, slowing down the video revealed a truly gruesome injury. Hutchinson was in severe pain and had to be tended to for a long while on the field, before ultimately being put on a stretcher and carted off. With the Lions being legitimate Super Bowl contenders, an injury to Hutchinson could prove season-altering.
He’s in good hands right now. He’s being taken care of, he’ll stay back here. Obviously, he’s going to be down for a little while. That’s tough. It’s hard when you lose someone like him. But we’ll know a lot more after this. And, obviously, wish him the best.
Campbell’s initial answer sparked a little bit of hope for Lions fans, but Campbell just didn’t want to give the full outlook until he has all of the answers. Despite that, Hutchinson is fully expected to miss the rest of the regular season and playoffs.
