Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Out 4-6 months after surgery

Hutchinson's surgery on a fractured tibia and fibula went well Sunday, and he is expected to be out 4-6 months, coach Dan Campbell said Monday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Campbell's update is encouraging, and the head coach intimated that he wouldn't rule Hutchinson out from a return in the postseason. Hutchinson's still expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, and even a postseason return would have to occur before the optimistic end of his projected absence. Nonetheless, this is positive news given the serious concern over Hutchinson's injury as soon as it occurred.
