Hutchinson sustained the injury during a sack on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in a 47-9 win. His leg appeared to snap when it collided with teammate Alim McNeill.
Lions coach Dan Campbell expressed his disappointment, noting Hutchinson's significant impact on the team. "Hate it for Hutch. It's tough losing someone like him," he said.
Teammates echoed the sentiment, with running back David Montgomery emphasizing Hutchinson’s leadership and character. Defensive linemen will now need to step up in his absence, although McNeill believes the overall game plan won’t change drastically.
Hutchinson, the second overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, had been leading the league in sacks and pressures this season.
