  • Hutchinson said he feels in a really good spot and plans to carry momentum into Sunday’s opener at Green Bay on Sept. 7.
  • The edge rusher reenters a defense now led by coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, whom he praised as intense and vocal.
  • Coaches said he has looked even better in camp, and he was named a captain for the second straight season.
  • He posted 7.5 sacks in five 2024 games before the injury, and Detroit is pursuing a deeper run after a 15-2 season ended in the divisional round.
