Patriots QB Drake Maye Ruled Out with an Ankle Injury After a Sack by Aidan Hutchinson in Munich
The Patriots turned to Tommy DeVito after Maye left with an ankle injury, while Aidan Hutchinson also exited after the sack.
- On Sunday, the Detroit Lions defeated the New England Patriots 35-10 in Munich, but star EDGE rusher Aidan Hutchinson was ruled out for the season after suffering a significant right knee injury while celebrating a first-quarter sack.
- Unlike his 2024 injury to the left leg that sidelined him 12 games, Hutchinson's fresh ailment affects his right leg, occurring when he landed awkwardly after celebrating the sack on New England's opening drive.
- Before the injury, the fifth-year pass-rusher was delivering strong production, recording his seventh sack of 2026 and his 53rd career sack while maintaining a 91.7 Pro Football Focus overall grade entering the contest.
- Coach Dan Campbell stated losing Hutchinson "hurts a little bit," noting the captain's absence will challenge the defensive unit despite teammates stepping up during Sunday's victory.
- While Dr. Jeff Pierce expressed optimism because Hutchinson walked off the field, Tom Pelissero and NFL Network reporters indicated the knee injury is "significant," confirming he will miss the remainder of the season pending official franchise evaluation.
