Aidan Hutchinson Injured Celebrating, 'Significant' Knee Issue Detailed in Latest Lions Rumors

Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson will miss the rest of the season after suffering a "significant" knee injury during Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, according to Tom Pelissero of The Ringer and Netflix.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo also reported that it is a "significant" injury.

Hutchinson was hurt when he landed awkwardly after celebrating a sack on New England's opening drive of the first quarter.

He was subsequently ruled out

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport described Hutchinson as doing a "full Gramatica." Former Arizona Cardinals kicker Bill Gramatica tore his ACL while celebrating a made field goal in a 2001 game.

Hutchinson enjoyed a return to form in 2025 after fractures to his tibia and fibula limited him to five games a season earlier. He had 14.5 sacks en route to earning a second Pro Bowl nod and finishing fifth in the Defensive Player of the Year voting.

The fifth-year pass-rusher was delivering more of the same through the Lions' first eight games. He had five sacks and 18 hits on the quarterback, and he made his presence felt early Sunday by bringing down Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.

Entering Week 10, Detroit was allowing 355 yards per game, which is tied for 26th, and ranks last in pass defense (260.9). That's despite totaling the third-most sacks (27) in the NFL.

Losing Hutchinson for any period of time would be a massive blow for the unit.
