Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson appeared to injure his leg during Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots in Munich while celebrating a sack.

After pulling Patriots quarterback Drake Maye to the ground, Hutchinson leaped into the air to mark the moment. His landing was less smooth.

He immediately grabbed at his leg following the celebration. Medical staff examined him on the field, officially noting that he is questionable to return to the game.

Maye was also injured on that game-opening drive. Trainers escorted him to the locker room with an ankle injury. His return was also listed as questionable, with backup signal-caller Tommy DeVito replacing him.

The Lions held a 7-3 lead in the final moments of the first quarter.
