Pray for Hutch. I’m hurt more for Hutch than I am for the team so hopefully he knows we all love him and wish him the best in his recovery.

Unless Dr. Chao has access to some sort of intel that tells him what the x-ray in the locker room said, he and everyone else on the internet is just making educated guesses.

Thank you. There are loads of these doctors on Twitter and people take their word as gospel every single time.

In curious what he means by “early medical evaluations.”

my somewhat educated guess is that the preliminary exam didn’t find any nerve or vascular damage… and the x-ray showed a “clean” fracture rather than a complicated (spiral) one.

I slipped on ice and snapped my tib and fib on New Year’s of 2020. It’s life changing. But 6 months later l was on my feet and climbing mountains, and I’m not a world class athlete with the best surgeons in the world at my disposal.

Best of luck to Hutch. I’m confident he’ll get through this. Hopefully the early reports of no nerve damage are true.

We had an ice storm about 5 years that left a serious layer of black ice everywhere there was pavement.

We has over 20 people in our ER with “fall” as the reason for visit. I couldn’t believe how similar all of the tib-fib x-rays looked. We must have about 10 of them that looked nearly identical.

Before this it was simply we WANT another edge. Meaning price just went up

Lions’ll need to target more than one player, expand the market.

Prayers for full recovery for Hutch as a young man first, football player second.
Full recovery and no permanent damage.

Broken tibia

Praying for Aidan

Yeah, tibia broken, hes getting surgery tmrw

Hope its clean

[Missing_Barry]

That’s a tough pill to swallow for sure. But if somebody can come back stronger from this, it’s Hutch. I also think if there is a team that can rise up to the challenge of losing their best defensive player, it’s that team. Dan will have this team working their butts off to play for Hutch and make up for his loss. Don’t underestimate how mentally strong this team is. Oh, and I’m sure BH can work a little magic too…

That’s big

[Blizer]

If its just tibia, and a clean break, hes done for the season, but should be back nect year

We need reinforcements now

Hopefully we can get him back for the playoffs.

Sadly… Game 1 next year is more realistic

Yea internet doctors are hilarious to me…

I think there are a handful of doctors on Twitter that are very trustworthy. I remember the comments by a couple on LaPorta when many of us feared the worst. I also appreciate Dr. Chao’s approach when he advises others to “watch the play, not the reaction” or something like that. i.e. don’t diagnose this based on the player’s reaction to the injury, rather, judge it based on what you see happening on the field.

You might even say these internet doctors have a better point of view than your family doctor, considering there’s about a half-dozen camera angles of every major injury.

I love me some internet doctors. These guys have filled a major void.

[Dolphinboy123]

Hutch will come back stronger!

[maggie.m]

Dr.'s are saying that it is a race against time to save the leg. I am not a medical Dr. and I am just reporting what people are saying. Maybe a Dr. in the chat can follow up?

Love ya brother…but they are just guessing for the most part. They aren’t there
