Aidan Hutchinson’s injury at Michigan may be worse than what he just suffered in the NFL

Former Michigan football star and current Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson was well on his way to a career year in the NFL before suffering a fractured left fibula and tibia against the Dallas Cowboys. He was leading the NFL in sacks with 7.5 up until his injury.

The unfortunate injury — which happened when his leg collided with defensive line teammate Alim McNeil when they were rushing toward Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott — is actually not the first major injury Hutchinson has endured during his football career. He also sustained a nasty season-ending fracture in his right ankle during his college career with the Michigan Wolverines.
