Detroit Lions star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson left the field after a 3rd down sack on New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, seemingly suffering a leg injury on a sack celebration.
Hutchinson leapt in the air to celebrate the stop, landed, and immediately grabbed his knee and calf area. He reportedly managed to walk to the sideline under his own power to head straight to the blue medical tent.
It was an injury that immediately had Lions fans saying, "another Stephen Tulloch." The former Detroit linebacker had, of course, torn his ACL back in 2014 with a similar celebration, and now haunts the minds of Lions fans that can't seem to shake the curse of ill-timed injuries to star defenders.
We'll continue to update fans here with any word on Hutchinson's availability from the Lions.

Hutchinson's injury status in Week 10 against Patriots
Hutchinson is questionable to return with a knee injury after suffering an injury on his sack celebration, per Lions PR. FOX's camera also showed Hutchinson walking to the locker room around the same time that the Lions managed to score a huge touchdown on the Patriots in the 1st quarter.
Maye, who was on the receiving end of Hutchinson's sack, also left to the locker room in the 1st quarter with an apparent ankle injury.
Maye was ruled out of the game towards the end of the 1st half.
