Aidan Hutchinson injury status: Revisiting leg fracture
In Week 6 of the 2024 season, Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson had played in five games (the Lions had a Week 5 bye) and was leading the league with his eye-popping mark of 7.5 sacks. Then his season abruptly ended. In the Week 6 game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Pro Bowl defensive end fractured both his tibia and fibula. The injury required immediate surgery and knocked Hutchinson out for the remainder of the Lions' special 2024 regular season. Hutchinson was one of a deluge of injuries the Lions had to deal with last year, but he's back – fully healthy and participating in training camp practices ahead of preseason games. When the Lions take on the Los Angeles Chargers in the Hall of Fame Game to kick off the preseason, Hutchinson will be ready to go, regardless of whether Detroit chooses to play their starters. LIONS INJURY NEWS: DT Levi Onwuzurike out for entire 2025 season with ACL injury, surgery Aidan Hutchinson injury update Hutchinson fractured both bones in his lower leg – his tibia and fibula – during a Week 6 game against the Dallas Cowboys last season. He underwent surgery soon after. The defensive end has since made a full recovery from his leg injury. He told reporters in May that he had been fully cleared to participate in football activities by the time OTAs began. Since then, he's been a full participant in practice. "Football has been feeling normal for a long time now," Hutchinson said Friday. "I would say first day of OTAs, I got kicked, stepped on, everything under the sun on this leg, and after practice I got up and I was like, 'All right, we're good.'" Lions quarterback Jared Goff has also said Hutchinson looks like a "monster" back out on the field at training camp. FORMER LION RETIRES: Ndamukong Suh officially announces retirement from NFL When will Aidan Hutchinson return? Hutchinson is already a full participant in practices during Lions training camp. It remains to be seen how often fans will get to see him play in preseason action, but the star edge rusher will be back in action for Week 1. He'll be looking to follow up on a promising start to last season, when he led the league through six weeks with his 7.5 sacks. AIDAN HUTCHINSON: Lions edge rusher says he's cleared for football activity Aidan Hutchinson contract Length: Four years (plus exercised fifth-year option) Value: $35.7 million (plus $19.8 million exercised fifth-year option) ($8.93 million AAV) As a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Hutchinson is still playing on his rookie contract. Earlier this offseason, the Lions announced they were (unsurprisingly) exercising the star defensive end's fifth-year option. Hutchinson will remain on his rookie deal through the end of the 2026 season before he hits free agency, though a long-term extension is a more likely outcome before then. Lions EDGE depth chart The Lions dealt with a brutal number of injuries to their defense last year, with Hutchinson being just one of more than a dozen players on injured reserve by late in the season. Detroit's depth is already getting tested early with the season-ending ACL surgery that defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike underwent in the offseason Here's how the Lions' depth looks at the corners of their defensive line: Aidan Hutchinson Marcus Davenport Josh Paschal Al-Quadin Muhammad Mitchell Agude Ahmed Hassanein Nate Lynn Isaac Ukwu The most notable standouts on the list – other than Hutchinson – are Marcus Davenport, whom the Lions signed to a second-straight one-year deal in the offseason, and 2025 sixth-round pick Ahmen Hassanein.

NFL is back (kinda) with Lions vs. Chargers in 2025 Hall of Fame Game: How to watch, lineups, odds
It's not exactly kneecap-biting time for Dan Campbell, and Jim Harbaugh may save his finest whole milks in the milk cellar, but the NFL is still very much back on Thursday. The 2025 preseason kicks off with the annual Hall of Fame Game. This year's installment features the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers, two playoff hopefuls that get to share a casual tune-up on national TV. Advertisement This broadcast will also be available on Peacock. The Lions went 15-2 last year while leading the league in total scoring. A gnarly and unfortunate string of injuries derailed their playoff run, though, and Detroit lost both of its lead coordinators this offseason. Aaron Glenn left the defense to lead the New York Jets, while OC Ben Johnson bowed out to fill the Chicago Bears' coaching vacancy. New offensive coordinator John Morton has jumped into his new role with zeal, creativity and sleeplessness, according to The Athletic's Colton Pouncy. New defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard has been seen jumping around the practice field, as elite pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson is back from 2024's season-ending leg injury. The vibes in Allen Park seem high. The Lions are 1.5-point favorites at BetMGM — yes, you can bet on this game — but neither team will be working with a full roster. Of note, rookies Tate Ratledge and Tyleik Williams are not expected to play in Thursday's exhibition. Ratledge (Georgia, No. 57 draft pick) is gunning for the starting center role, Pouncy reports, while Williams (Ohio State, No. 28 pick) has been taking first-team DT reps all spring. Detroit's offense Thursday will be paced by backup quarterbacks Hendon Hooker and Kyle Allen. Hooker, a Tennessee product, went 29-for-44 last preseason with a touchdown pass and an interception. Allen was in the Pittsburgh Steelers' QB room in 2024, and his arrival in Detroit marks his fifth pro stopover since 2020. The biggest news out of Chargers camp has been Rashawn Slater's massive multi-year contract extension, which the team announced Sunday. Elsewhere on the offensive line, Jamaree Salyer looks remade on the inside, and Zion Johnson is potentially moving from guard to center and will play a couple of drives there against the Lions. Advertisement 'He's a different guy when you subtract 35 pounds of bad weight,' offensive coordinator Greg Roman said of Salyer, per The Athletic's Daniel Popper. 'His ability to move laterally (and) change direction quickly is so much better.' Popper, who's been covering Los Angeles' training days in San Diego and El Segundo, praised rookie wideout Dalevon Campbell and second-year defensive back Cam Hart. Other younger players, including rookies Omarion Hampton, Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith, will be in action Thursday while most of the starters will sit. With Justin Herbert on the sideline, Trey Lance will take the first snaps under center. Lance, the third pick in the 2021 draft, threw for 244 yards in his lone start with the Dallas Cowboys last year. Undrafted rookie DJ Uiagalelei will take over for Lance at some point in the second half, and veteran Taylor Heinicke will serve as the emergency QB. Come Saturday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will enshrine four new members — cornerback Eric Allen, defensive end Jared Allen, receiver Sterling Sharpe and Chargers luminary Antonio Gates.
