Overview
- Both players were hurt on the same third-and-goal sack sequence during Sunday’s Week 10 game in Munich when Hutchinson brought down Maye and then appeared to land awkwardly while celebrating.
- The Detroit Lions listed Hutchinson as questionable with a right-knee injury and reporters said Maye was in the locker room with an ankle issue and was questionable to return.
- Video and social-media medical commentary prompted speculation about a possible ACL tear for Hutchinson but no team has confirmed a diagnosis and imaging is pending.
- Losing Hutchinson would be a major blow to Detroit because he is the team’s top pass rusher and a central piece of their defense.
- The Patriots have Tommy DeVito active as the planned backup with Behren Morton as the emergency third quarterback and team announcements and scan results will determine how each club adjusts its game plan.
