Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson suffered a severe leg injury in October 2024, fracturing both his tibia and fibula. He underwent immediate surgery and has been dedicated to his rehabilitation since then. In a recent interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Hutchinson provided an encouraging update, stating, “I feel good. I’ll be wrapping up rehab pretty soon, and then I’ll be moving on with my life.”

Medical experts have weighed in on Hutchinson’s recovery prospects. Dr. David Chao, a former NFL team physician, expressed optimism, stating, “I would expect a 100 percent recovery for him… expect him back 100 percent.”

Initially, there was speculation about Hutchinson returning if the Lions reached the Super Bowl. However, with the Lions’ playoff run concluding earlier, Hutchinson has focused on ensuring a full recovery for the upcoming season. His commitment to rehabilitation and the positive assessments from medical professionals suggest he will be ready to return to full form for the 2025 NFL season.
