Aidan Hutchinson Injures Knee After Sacking Celebration, Must Pass Tests Upon Return to Detroit

MUNICH — Lions forward Aidan Hutchinson appeared to injure his right knee while celebrating the sack of the Patriots’ Drake Maye in the first quarter of Detroit’s 35-10 victory Sunday.

“Nothing new, we’ll know more when we get back to the States,” coach Dan Campbell said. “Anytime you lose a player like that and you don’t know everything… it hurts a little bit.”

Hutchinson leapt into the air but went straight to the ground after landing. He immediately grabbed his right knee. He remained on the ground and was eventually able to walk to the blue tent for an evaluation.

He then cautiously walked towards the locker room and did not return to the game.

Hutchinson had sacked Maye on third down at the Detroit 15-yard line on New England’s first drive. Andy Borregales then scored a 33-yard field goal.
