Aidan Hutchinson Fantasy Stats

The Detroit Lions and star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson have agreed to terms on a four-year, "mega-extension," per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The number two overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Hutchinson is currently playing out the fourth year of his five-year rookie contract. While the exact terms of the extension are unclear, it appears Hutchinson will now be under contract with Detroit for the remainder of the decade. The 25-year-old has bounced back nicely in 2025 from the serious leg injury that ended his 2024 season in Week 6. Across seven games this year, Hutchinson has recorded six sacks, 13 QB hits, and four forced fumbles. Pro Football Focus grades him as the second-best edge defender out of 119 qualified players so far in 2025. As long as he stays healthy, Hutchinson could be on his way to his second Pro-Bowl and first All-Pro selection this season.

Detroit Lions edge defender Aidan Hutchinson is tied for third in the league with five sacks on the season and "looks destined for a new deal," according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. With Hutchinson in the fourth year of his career, he is extension eligible, and the two sides have had discussions about a possible long-term deal. He'll be expected to land in the range of Green Bay edge rusher Micah Parsons's record-setting new contract. Fowler is unsure if Hutchinson will surpass that mark, but will almost certainly be in the same neighborhood. It's great to see Hutchinson back and fully healthy after suffering a tough leg injury last season, and he is back as one of the best defensive players in the league.

Detroit Lions EDGE rusher Aidan Hutchinson had his 2024 season ended early thanks to a leg injury, but he "looks great" early in camp, according to quarterback Jared Goff. New Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard went further, stating, "I see a better player than we had last year." Hutchinson was one of the frontrunners for NFL Defensive Player of the Year last season, racking up 7.5 sacks in just five games before the injury. The Lions will certainly welcome Hutchinson back to the fold as they have Super Bowl aspirations heading into 2025. His return makes the Detroit D/ST worth targeting as a top-six option in fantasy drafts later this summer.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that the Detroit Lions are quietly negotiating a long-term extension with Pro Bowl defensive end Aidan Hutchinson. "Aidan Hutchinson of the Detroit Lions is the other big name, high octane pass rusher currently discussing a potential long term deal," Rapoport said. "If that gets done before Parsons, then Parsons officially on the clock." Hutchinson has totaled 28.5 sacks in three seasons, including 7.5 in only five games before an injury cut his 2024 campaign short. Locking in the rising star could reset the market ahead of Micah Parsons' expected megadeal.

Detroit Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (leg) told reporters on Thursday that he's fully cleared from his leg injury, which is a significant announcement that could help him land a blockbuster contract. Defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers also recently said that Hutchinson has looked "really good" during voluntary offseason workouts after the 24-year-old suffered a fractured tibia and fibula around seven months ago, ending his season. Hutchinson was initially given a timetable of four to six months, but he appears to be ahead of scheduled. He has been running at full speed and taking part in individual drills, so barring a setback once the pads come on, Hutchinson should be ready to go for Week 1 this fall. The former second overall pick in 2022 out of Michigan has quickly proven to be an elite edge rusher in the NFL with 28.5 sacks in his first three seasons over 39 regular-season starts.

Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (leg) saw his 2024 campaign come to an end after five games due to a serious leg injury. Hutchinson was hopeful to return for the postseason, but this wasn't an easy injury to overcome. Despite that, Hutchinson reportedly is looking good in practice, according to Lions' defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers. This is the kind of injury that could've ended someone's career, so seeing Hutchinson making this much progress is fantastic. The organization was hesitant to talk about projections, but they believe Hutchinson can return to playing at the same level he was before this injury.

Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (leg) indicated last week that he's nearly done rehabbing from his season-ending injury last October. "I'm there. I'd say I'm good," Hutchinson told Marty Smith on Thursday at the Masters. "I've got my last evaluation tests when I get back, I leave today...and once I knock them out of the park, I'll be on my way and done with rehab." The superstar pass-rusher was a force in 2024, notching 7.5 sacks and 19 tackles in five games -- including a dominant 4.5 sack effort against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. Hutchinson recently released a workout video of him sprinting and zig-zagging down the field, and he looks strong. The Michigan product is well on his way to being ready for training camp, and though he may not be 100% himself this season after a severe injury, his expedited return to the field has been remarkable.

The Detroit Lions have officially placed defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (leg) on injured reserve Wednesday. Hutchinson suffered a gruesome leg injury in the Week 6 win over the Cowboys. The official diagnosis is a fractured tibia and fibula, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season. Up to this point, Hutchinson led the NFL in sacks with 7.5, and his absence will be a huge loss for the Lions' pass rush. He is expected to make a full recovery and could potentially return at some point during the 2025 season.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson (leg) had successful surgery on Sunday night and is expected to be out for four to six months. Hutchinson is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season, but Campbell said that if anyone could make it back, it would be Hutchinson. The 24-year-old defensive end had surgery to fix a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula after a gruesome leg injury in the Week 6 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys. He will return to Detroit this weekend and is expected to make a full recovery. Fantasy managers in IDP formats will obviously need to pivot and look for other options at the defensive line position the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Detroit's defensive unit in fantasy will surely take a hit after losing not only their best pass-rusher, but one of the best young sack artists in the game. The former second overall pick out of Michigan has a league-high 7.5 sacks after six weeks.

Detroit Lions star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson (tibia) will miss the remainder of the 2024 season after undergoing emergency surgery Sunday to repair a compound fracture, per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Hutchinson suffered the injury while sacking quarterback Dak Prescott in the Lions' 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The third-year defensive standout completed the sack but immediately grabbed his leg upon hitting the ground and was carted off the field in an air cast. He'll now spend the night in a local Dallas hospital. It's a massive blow to Detroit's defense, as the 24-year-old led the league in sacks (6.5) entering Week 6 and is a formidable game-breaker off the edge. Defensive end Isaac Ukwu figures to pick up snaps with the injury to Hutchinson, and Detroit may seek help elsewhere with no other healthy defensive ends on the roster. The Lions will get a road matchup in Week 7 against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings.
