Aidan Hutchinson had never spent a day in a hospital, let alone two.
But after breaking his tibia and fibula against the Cowboys in Week 6, as his team flew home to Detroit, Hutchinson had to stay back in Dallas for emergency surgery. Given the marvels of modern medicine, it was just a two-day stay at the hospital for Hutchinson, but even that was far too long for the eager Detroit Lions defensive end.
“Staying in a hospital for a couple days in Dallas, it was one of the most miserable experiences I’ve probably had in my life,” Hutchinson said in his first press conference since the October injury.
