    ARLINGTON, Texas – The Detroit Lions suffered a potentially season-altering injury in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys when Aidan Hutchinson injured his left leg and was taken off the field on a stretcher.

    Hutchinson injured his leg with 11:43 left in the third quarter when he knocked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott to the ground for a sack and his leg appeared to clip teammate Alim McNeill.

    Hutchinson released Prescott from his grasp as he fell to the ground, immediately pulling the gloves from both hands.

    As the coaches tended to Hutchinson, every Lions player left the sideline to be at Hutchinson’s side. Quarterback Jared Goff approached Hutchinson as he lay on the ground. Tight end Sam LaPorta walked off the field with a towel over his head. And linebacker Alex Anzalone pulled Hutchinson toward him before leaving on a medical cart with what appeared to be an air cast on his leg.

    Many Cowboys players also stopped by to offer Hutchinson well wishes, including Luke Schoonmaker, his former teammate at Michigan.

    The Lions quickly ruled Hutchinson out of the game due to a lower leg injury.

    Hutchinson, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 draft, is having a breakout season and is the heart of a Lions defense that ranked fourth in the NFL going into the game. He had at least one sack in each of the Lions’ first three games, and 4½ in a Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and led the NFL with 23 pressures, according to Pro Football Reference.

    The Lions have already lost one defensive end to a season-ending injury — Marcus Davenport tore his triceps in a Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals — and used Josh Paschal and Isaac Ukwu as defensive ends after Hutchinson’s injury. The Cowboys, who failed to pick up a first down in the second quarter, scored against a deflated Lions defense on the drive that left Hutchinson with an injury.

    Defensive tackle Kyle Peko also left the game in the first half with a pectoral injury and was ruled out for the game.
