After Hutchinson was placed on a cart with a cast on his leg, Dallas teammates and players reached out to pat the 24-year-old.

Speaking about his player after the game, Lions coach Dan Campbell said: ‘That’s tough. You know, it was difficult. And he’s in good hands now, he’s being looked after.

‘He’s going to stay here (in Dallas). You know, obviously he’s going to be depressed for a while. So this is tough, man.

‘It’s hard when you lose someone like him. But we’ll know a lot more after this and we’ll obviously wish him the best.

‘It’s hard for everyone when you’re there and that’s one of yours and something like this happens.

‘If you think about it too much and start playing a little timid, that’s when you get hurt. So the guys came back and lived in the moment we are in.

FOX refused to show replays of the incident, while former NFL star JJ Watt posted on social media that the injury was “horrible.”
