Look: Aidan Hutchinson shows off his progress in recovering from a broken leg

It’s been a little over one month since Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson broke his lower leg in Detroit’s lopsided win in Dallas over the Cowboys. Breaking both the tibia and fibula in a freakish collision as he sacked Dak Prescott, Hutchinson is expected to miss the rest of the season. However, the Lions have left the door open that Hutchinson could return in time to play late in the postseason.

Hutchinson appears hard at work in making that chance into a reality, should the Lions make it to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. The Lions star posted a clip of his rehabilitation process on his Instagram over the weekend. This is Hutchinson bearing some weight in a rehab pool on the surgically repaired leg after four weeks.

While it’s not a miraculous leap like walking on water, merely walking in a pool of water is a big step for Hutchinson.
