The Detroit Lions’ Super Bowl aspirations are hanging by a cliffhanger as star defender Aidan Hutchinson has suffered a season-ending injury. Just as the news devastated the team, fans have also expressed their distress, including a notable fanatic: superstar rapper Eminem.
After last season’s success, Eminem has been rooting for the Lions with all his heart as they are standing at a 4-1 record. However, they hit a major road bump after the star pass rusher broke his tibia and fibula, which resulted in him being carted off the field in week 6 match against the Lions. Although they emerged victorious at 47-9, Hutchinson’s injury raised significant concerns for him and the team.
Like many of the Lions’ fans, the American rapper responded with a one-word reaction “f**k” –enough to describe his state of mind. But that wasn’t all he said.
During his recent concert, the 15-time Grammy winner made a heartwarming gesture for the Pro Bowler defender to support him in his tough time. He surprised everyone while stepping on the stage as he was sporting the iconic Hutchinson jersey with the number ‘97’ imprinted on it.

The Lions truly hit the jackpot when they drafted Hitchinson in the 2022 NFL Draft and he earned his name among the All-Time Rookies in his rookie season. Replacing him wouldn’t be easy for Detroit, but amid the speculations of him possibly returning in the Super Bowl; the team needs to advance to that level.
Realistic chance for Aidan Hutchinson to play if Lions reach Super Bowl
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that Hitchinson has a very “realistic chance to return” to the field in the Super Bowl game, which usually takes place in February. But that would only be possible if the Lions make it to the Super Bowl.
The defensive end went into an emergency surgery following his serious injury which made his recovery a bit speedy. However, given the intensity of the injury and its possible consequences, it would at least take three to four months for him to recover completely.
I would never count Hutch out, ever.So probably a long road, but I would never count him out, and I would say if anybody can make it back, it’d be him.
Dan Campbell said to the reporters
In the meantime, the Lions are looking for a potential replacement for Hutchinson and they have approached different teams across the league to enquire about the available trade options. As per the sources, they are eyeing defensive end Za’Darius Smith from the Cleveland Brown to take Hutchinson’s place on the defense, among their many options.
