FOX refused to show replays of the incident while former NFL star JJ Watt posted on social media that the injury was ‘horrific’.
Hutchinson was drafted with the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL draft and has proven to be a transformative presence for the Lions, who are Super Bowl contenders this season.
If he has broken his leg, it will likely be the end of Hutchinson’s season after just six games.
The Lions were in full control when the incident happened after roaring into a huge 34-6 lead at AT&T Stadium.
They will move to 4-1 for the season with a win of the Cowboys but losing Hutchinson for the rest of the season will be a huge blow.
