Defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson left the Detroit Lions’ 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys Sunday with a significant leg injury.

In the third quarter, while recording sack 7.5 of his season, Hutchinson suffered a broken tibia.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Hutchinson underwent immediate surgery in Dallas Sunday and would not travel back to Detroit with the team.

“It’s tough. He’s in good hands right now,” Campbell said after the game. “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 to lose someone like him but we’ll know a lot more after this and obviously wish him the best.”

The entire Lions team and a lot of Cowboys players came onto the field to wish Hutchinson the best as he was taken off the field on a cart.

“It’s obvious how good he is and how great of a player he is on the field and what he does for our team schematically and what type of season he was having,” linebacker and defensive captain Alex Anzalone said of Hutchinson after the game.

“Just to see him in that situation it kind of just brings you back down to earth. We’re playing a violent and dangerous sport … to see him go out like that is tough just from a human aspect.”

Hutchinson’s loss is obviously a huge blow to the Lions’ defense. He was leading the NFL in sacks and quarterback pressures and was the early favorite for DPOY.

He recorded a sack, three quarterback hits, a tackle for loss and three tackles before the injury.
