Lions' Aidan Hutchinson 'on track' for potential Super Bowl appearance: 'I’m going to be back'

The Detroit Lions are battling a number of injuries, and their Super Bowl aspirations face a grim reality. But star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson could change the team's fortunes. 

Hutchinson had surgery in October to repair a fractured tibia and fibula after he sustained a gruesome leg injury during the second half of the Lions' 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys Oct. 13. 

Despite the nature of his injury, Hutchinson said Wednesday he’s on track to return in time for a Super Bowl appearance.
