The Detroit Lions face a challenging 2024 NFL season without their star defensive player, Aidan Hutchinson, who sustained a fractured tibia and fibula. His absence is significant, but head coach Dan Campbell remains optimistic, relying on defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn's adaptability and the depth of their defensive line.
Campbell has faith in players like Alim McNeill, Levi Onwuzurike, and DJ Reader, among others, to step up. While the team is open to external additions, they prioritize fitting into the established culture. Despite Hutchinson's injury, Campbell believes the current roster can still contend for a Super Bowl.
He praised Hutchinson's leadership and performance, expressing hope for his potential return late in the postseason, emphasizing the importance of the next man up mentality.
