ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson had successful surgery to repair a fractured tibia and fibula he sustained against the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions announced Monday morning that Hutchinson had the surgery at Baylor White Medical Center in the Dallas area. He will return to Detroit this week and was expected to make a full recovery. Hutchinson was carted off the field after a sack of Dallas QB Dak Prescott in the third quarter of the Lions’ 47-9 win over the Cowboys on Sunday. Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that the surgery “went great” and Hutchinson is likely out four-to-six months.
