ARLINGTON, Texas >> Aidan Hutchinson is likely done playing this year because of the leg injury he sustained against the Cowboys, but surgery to repair his fractured tibia and fibula “went great” and Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday he isn’t ready to declare his pass rusher out for the season.

Hutchinson was carted off the field Sunday in the third quarter of Detroit’s 47-9 win over Dallas and had surgery at Baylor White Medical Center.

“The surgery went great — it is all good news,” Campbell said. “It’s probably 4-6 months, but I would never count Hutch out. It hurts, but if anyone could make it back, it is him.”

Hutchinson was set to return this week to Detroit from the Dallas-area hospital.

Hutchinson’s leg appeared to snap above the ankle when it collided with the left leg of teammate Alim McNeill as Hutchinson was pulling Dallas QB Dak Prescott down for a sack.

Harbaugh wearing heart monitor

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.>> Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh wasn’t supposed to do his Monday news conference because he was undergoing medical testing after he experienced an irregular heartbeat during Sunday’s 23-16 win at Denver.

Harbaugh, though, got back from his appointment with a cardiologist earlier than planned and decided it would be better to address the subject immediately instead of waiting until Wednesday.

Harbaugh said he is taking steps to address the arrhythmia he has had for many years. That includes wearing a heart monitor for the next two weeks and taking a blood thinner so his heart doesn’t go out of rhythm.

Tua expected to play for Miami again this season

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.>> Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to play football again in 2024 after being diagnosed with his third concussion in two years earlier this season.

Coach Mike McDaniel said that Tagovailoa had “positive” meetings with neurologists during the Dolphins bye week, though he remains in concussion protocol and on injured reserve.

“I do expect him to see him playing football in 2024,” McDaniel said for the first time since Tagovailoa’s injury, “but where that is exactly, we’ll let the process continue.”

Houston DT Edwards suspended four games

HOUSTON>> Houston Texans defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. has been suspended without pay for four games for violating the NFL’s substances of abuse policy.

Edwards, who was suspended Monday, will be eligible for reinstatement after Houston’s game against Detroit on Nov. 10.

The 30-year-old has started every game for the Texans this season and has 18 tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery.

Chiefs’ Rice has surgery

KANSAS CITY, Mo.>> Wide receiver Rashee Rice had surgery last week to repair the posterolateral corner of his right knee, rather than the ACL that initially was thought to have been damaged in a win over the Chargers, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

The nature of the injury, and ensuing procedure, does not significantly change the timeline for Rice’s recovery. He still will miss the remainder of the season.

Allen to miss rest of season

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen is expected to miss the remainder of the NFL season with a torn pectoral muscle.

Coach Dan Quinn said that Allen is likely to have season-ending surgery soon after being injured in the loss Baltimore, which ended the Commanders’ winning streak at four.
