Detroit Lions defensive end breaks his Tibia according to Lions head coach Dan Campbell after their 47-9 win on Sunday October 13th. Hutchinson who was the star defensive end for the Detroit Lions led the NFL in sacks going into the game at 6.5 sacks. He went down after sacking Cowboys quarterback Dan Prescott and didn't get up. He was stretchered off of the field in the third quarter.

How do you find this injury will affect the rest of the Lion's season with him being one of the best players in the league?

This is definitely a true claim. Aidan Hutchinson is marked as out on the ESPN website. This will definitely be a blow to the lions defense as he’s being replaced with Rookie Issac Ukwu, who would be the 4th string. According to their depth chart, they have two other defensive ends that are inactive and on injury reserve as well.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4372099/aidan-hutchinson
