REPORT: Aidan Hutchinson Could Return By NFC Championship Game If Lions Make It

If the Detroit Lions make it to the NFC Championship Game, they could see the remarkable return of Aidan Hutchinson.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports that the Lions are “holding out hope” that Hutchinson will be able to return for the NFC Championship if they are able to make it. The Lions (12-1) currently have the best record in the NFL.

Hutchinson broke his leg back in Week 6, during the Lions 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Previously, the hope was Hutchinson could get back by the Super Bowl but it seems like that return has been pushed up a couple of weeks.
