Aidan Hutchinson walked to the podium at the Detroit Lions' practice facility with a smile on his face.
"It's been a while," Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson spoke to the media for the first time since he broke tibia and fibula in Week 5 of the 2024 season against the Dallas Cowboys, causing him to miss the rest of the year. The star defensive end said doctors fully cleared him "awhile back" and he has been a full participant in the Lions' offseason workouts.
"I got cleared a while back and now I'm just rolling with the boys now," Hutchinson said Thursday, May 22 in Allen Park.
