The Lions' star defensive end suffered a gruesome injury to his left leg during the Detroit Lions' blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys. It looked horrific on replay and immediately fans, media members and former NFL players took to social media to react.

Hutchinson's leg appeared to snap above the ankle when it collided with the left leg of teammate Alim McNeill.

Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit's best defensive player and an NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate, was injured on a sack of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the second half. He winced in pain as he wrapped up Prescott, then stayed down. A cart came on the field for him.
