The return of Aidan Hutchinson can come sooner than expected.
Detroit Lions fans have many years of experience feeling like nothing can go right for their franchise, but things have changed since Dan Campbell was hired.
Campbell’s squad’s improvement to 12-1 is simply all the more impressive after the team lost to Hutchinson weeks ago.
What makes their run even more impressive is the new news regarding their standout defensive player.
The Detroit Lions are still operating with the hope that Aidan Hutchinson could potentially return to the field this season if they make a deep playoff run.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports states that the team thinks he could return for the NFC Championship Game, should the team make it that far.

Before Thursday’s game between the Lions and Green Bay Packers, Albert Breer reported that Detroit expects Hutchinson “will be in uniform” if they advance to the Super Bowl.
Hutchinson has been out of action since Week 6, when he suffered a broken tibia and fibula in the Lions’ 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Head coach Dan Campbell said at the time that recovery time is four to six months, but he would “never count out” Hutchinson from potentially making it back before the end of this season.
Aidan Hutchinson Would Make The Lions Unbeatable
The Detroit Lions have won eleven in a row and done much of that without the services of their best defensive player.
Should Aidan Hutchinson return sooner than expected, then that would spell doom for any team hoping they could defeat them.
Detroit is already scary, and Hutchinson makes them unbeatable
Gilbert Arenas Explains Which NBA Superstar Will Perfectly Fit In The Los Angeles Lakers
Gilbert Arenas (Image Courtesy: Getty Images)The Los Angeles Lakers have gone from starting their season 3-0 to 12-11 now. Such a drastic downfall has created a huge void in the Lakers’ roster. They are now looking for some fresh names to accompany the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With lots of names appearing on the radar, Gilbert Arenas knows exactly who must join the Los Angeles-based team.
Speaking about the sorry state of the Lakers, Arenas was asked about who would be a perfect fit for the team. Between Zach LaVine and Jimmy Butler, Arenas chose LaVine. “Zach LaVine. Jimmy Butler, the way he plays now? I’m good,” Arenas said. “I don’t need another guy who’s just gonna disappear just whenever. I don’t need fourth-quarter Jimmy right now. I need someone that’s gonna get us along,” said the former NBA star.
The 42-year-old further pointed out that both Anthony Davis and LeBron James are now on the injury list. And indeed, Arenas seems to have got a point here. The last time Butler played over 70 games in an NBA season was way back in 2016-17. Getting a reputation as being injury-prone, Butler has missed five games so far this season for the Miami Heat. Well, speaking of new recruits, the Lakers also have some big names on their radar for the season.
