Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson carted off with broken tibia - ESPN

ARLINGTON, Texas — Detroit Lions star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson broke a tibia during Sunday's 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys in a scary scene at AT&T Stadium.

Hutchinson injured his left leg on a play in which he was sacking Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Hutchinson's leg appeared to snap above the ankle when it collided with the left leg of teammate Alim McNeill as Hutchinson was pulling Prescott down.

Members of the Lions and Cowboys quickly circled around Hutchinson as team doctors rushed to his side. Hutchinson's leg was placed in an air cast, and he exited on a cart.

The Lions said after the game that Hutchinson underwent immediate surgery at a Dallas-area hospital.

«Hate it for Hutch. That's tough. It was tough,» Campbell said. «He's in good hands right now. He's being taken care of. He'll stay back here and obviously he's going to be down for a little while. So, that's tough and it's hard when you lose somebody like him, but we'll know a lot more after this and obviously wish him the best.»

McNeill called the injury «frightening to see.» And he wasn't initially aware of the severity of Hutchinson's injury right after it happened, although he was involved in the play.

«That's what I felt, but I haven't seen it myself so I couldn't really tell,» McNeill said after the game. «I didn't know if that was him or not, but I did feel somebody like leg with me and then I saw Hutch down… that's crazy. „

Lions running back David Montgomery, who finished with two rushing touchdowns, said he has faith that Campbell and his staff can prepare players to fill Hutchinson's role.

“It's an unfortunate loss for us. A big, big, big blow for us and it's just more personal for us now because of the kind of guy that Aidan is and
