Overview

• Hutchinson logged a sack and forced a fourth-quarter fumble on Derrick Henry in the win over Baltimore, then said he was just a little sore after icing his left knee.
• Detroit’s defense sacked Lamar Jackson seven times, marking a standout pass-rush performance on Monday night.
• The Lions contacted the NFL to request closer officiating on low contact against Hutchinson after seeing opponents target his legs in the first two games, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
• The former No. 2 pick returned this season from a 2024 tibia and fibula fracture and recorded a Sept. 13 sack on Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
• With Marcus Davenport on injured reserve and Alim McNeill and Josh Paschal sidelined, Detroit’s pass-rush depth is stretched and Hutchinson’s availability carries added weight.
