Lions notes: Aidan Hutchinson played sick vs. Jets, happy to be rushing with Romeo Okwara

Allen Park — Describing an athlete as "sick" typically doesn't have much to do with their health status.

But it did last week, as Detroit Lions rookie defensive end Aidan Hutchinson played the week after battling an illness. Despite coming up with five tackles and one for-loss, Hutchinson said Wednesday that he was still not feeling well entering Sunday's win over the New York Jets.

"It was kind of a weird game last game for me, just playing a little sick," Hutchinson said. "I've never really done it before and it was definitely a weird game for me, just being in there playing and not really feeling like myself, but I'm glad I'm past that now and I feel like I'm back to healthy and normal, so we're happy about that.
