Overview

  • Calling the claim “bogus,” Campbell said no one from the Lions contacted the league about hits on Hutchinson.
  • Adam Schefter had reported on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown that Detroit asked the NFL to monitor low blocks, citing early-season plays.
  • Schefter’s segment highlighted instances against Green Bay and noted Chicago, with video of opponents blocking Hutchinson low.
  • Campbell said he has not seen a change in how teams are blocking Hutchinson and that Detroit will “play accordingly.”
  • Hutchinson, back from a 2024 leg fracture, is off to a strong 2025 start with five sacks and heavy pressure production, while the source of Schefter’s report remains unverified.
