Report: Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson has fractured tibia

Detroit's defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was taken off the field in a cart during the third quarter of the Lions' game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday with a potentially serious leg injury.

Hutchinson, one of the top defensive players in the league, was hurt while sacking Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the Lions' first defensive drive of the second half.

Players from both teams gathered around Hutchinson as medical staff attended to him and transported him on the cart. He was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game.
