Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was carted off the field with a serious injury to his left tibia on a sack of Dallas' Dak Prescott.
Hutchinson was staying in the Dallas area for surgery, Lions coach Dan Campbell said after Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
Hutchinson's leg appeared to snap above the ankle when it collided with the left leg of teammate Alim McNeill as Hutchinson was pulling Prescott down in the third quarter.
"I haven't seen it myself so I couldn't really tell," McNeill said. "I didn't know if it was him or not, but I did feel somebody like leg-whip me, and then I see Hutch down. That's wild to see. I hate that for him."
The Lions were leading 34-6 at the time of the injury to Hutchinson, who entered the game as the NFL leader in sacks with 6 1/2.
