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.
