Aidan Hutchinson may return sooner than expected from injury, doctor says

Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson, who suffered a broken leg in Week 6, may return sooner than expected. Initially projected to miss four to six months, reports suggest he could play in the NFC Championship Game if the Lions advance. Dr. Christopher Cooke, a sports medicine expert, believes Hutchinson has a good chance of returning within three months post-surgery. This timeline aligns with the second round of the playoffs, which begins shortly after his injury. Head coach Dan Campbell remains cautious but acknowledges Hutchinson's determination. While there is hope for his return, the team and fans should manage expectations regarding his recovery and the Lions' playoff success.
