Sources: Hutchinson chance of SB return realistic

Aidan Hutchinson, the standout defensive end for the Detroit Lions, is believed to have a realistic chance of returning for the Super Bowl if the team advances that far. Despite a recent surgery on his fractured left tibia and fibula, sources close to him are confident in his ability to make a comeback. The Lions have placed Hutchinson on injured reserve, but coach Dan Campbell remains optimistic about his recovery. While Detroit is exploring options for acquiring another defensive end, they are also relying on their current defensive core. Hutchinson’s injury, though serious, did not involve any ligament, nerve, or artery damage, and he was fortunate to receive treatment from a top medical center and surgeon. Despite the setback, Hutchinson leads the NFL in sacks this season and remains a key player for the Lions.
