NFL Rumors: Lions expected to be ‘aggressive’ in finding replacement for Aidan Hutchinson | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

The Detroit Lions are reportedly expected to make a strong effort to add a quality pass rusher via trade after superstar defensive end Aidan Hutchinson suffered a broken tibia and fibula during Sunday’s 47-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano said Wednesday he expects the Lions to be “aggressive” in their search for Hutchinson’s replacement, and he mentioned disgruntled New York Jets pass rusher Haason Reddick as a potential target.

However, Graziano noted that the “most likely outcome” is that the Lions will continue to sign guys from the practice squads in an effort to find suitable players. Detroit signed Isaiah Thomas to the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad on Tuesday as part of that effort.

The Lions have yet to officially post a timetable for Hutchinson’s return, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter (h/t ESPN’s Eric Woodyard) reported this week that he is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
