The Detroit Lions have dominated the Dallas Cowboys during Week 6, but could have lost star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson as he was carted off the field early in the third quarter of the game due to a lower-body injury. The defensive end has been looking great throughout the beginning stages of the season and this would be a significant loss for the Detroit Lions, despite looking like they are going to be 4-1. Aidan Hutchinson has been one of the best defenders in the league so let's take a dive into what this loss would mean going forward.

Aidan Hutchinson Carted Off

Aidan Hutchinson is the leader of the defense for the Detroit Lions and after leaving the game on a stretcher, this is going to be a massive blow to the team. He has been one of the best defenders in the entire NFL as he leads the sport with 6.5 sacks thus far. The second pick in the 2022 NFL draft has immediately become a star and one of the top players in the entire sport.

In a week where we saw some key defensive linemen deal with injuries, Aidan Hutchinson's injury is the cherry on top for the sport. Below is the video of the play where Aidan Hutchinson suffered the injury as he was in the middle of tackling Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

At the time of this writing, there has not been any update regarding Aidan Hutchinson's injury and how long he will be off of the field. The extent of the injury is going to be significant as he may be able to return to the Detroit Lions late in the season depending on the severity. It will be interesting to see how coach Dan Campbell and the defense adjusts to losing one of the bright players on their team. Could the Lions go into free agency to help their defense in the mean time?
