Lions Coach's Latest Aidan Hutchinson Quote Will Excite Detroit Fans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Following a 2024 NFL season that saw the Detroit Lions go 15-2, the team quickly lost in their first playoff matchup against the Washington Commanders. It was a disappointing way to end an otherwise amazing year. Dan Campbell and company have had an entire offseason to think about that loss. They will be more than ready to get the 2025 season underway in September. Throughout the 2024 season, the Lions were hit with multiple major injury issues. Most notably, superstar pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson missed a huge chunk of the season after suffering a season-ending broken tibia and fibula against the Dallas Cowboys.

Photo by ReyLosing Hutchinson was a devastating blow for the Detroit defense. He is one of the most feared pass rushers in the NFL and was having an elite year.

New updates have come out about Hutchinson. He seems to be back on his feet and ready to play at a high level once again during the upcoming 2025 season. Kelvin Sheppard, the team's new defensive coordinator who replaced Aaron Glenn, spoke out with a quote about Hutchinson that will excite Lions fans. "There's not a more resilient, mentally tough guy than that type of injury during that type of season that he was on course of having could have happened to," he said. "He's the most energetic guy on the field. I said, 'Hutch, you know how I know you back?' He's like, 'How?' 'Because you're touching that ground when you run that hoop.' That's that little thing he does like he's some supernatural cat, which he is." Read more: Bears Again Connected to Potential Major Late-Free Agency Move Heading into the 2025 NFL season, Detroit is going to need the best version of Hutchinson to accomplish its goal. There is one only one goal for the Lions, which is to win the Super Bowl. Nothing short of that would be considered successful. On the outside looking in, Detroit appears to have the kind of roster needed to make that kind of run. A healthy version of Hutchinson would have made a huge difference last year in the playoffs, and he'll be taking out his frustration for missing the run out on the field this year. Hutchinson seems poised for a big season. Hopefully, he stays healthy and can get back to making the elite impact for the Lions that he has made to this point in his career.

Can Burlington's Profit Levers Deflect Tariff Impact? Analysts Weigh In
Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:BURL) shares are trading slightly higher on Friday. On Thursday, the company reported first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.60, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.41. Quarterly sales of $2.50 billion missed the Street view of $2.52 billion. The company's CEO, Michael O'Sullivan, stated that while tariffs are expected to significantly impact merchandise margins, he is confident the company can offset this pressure in other areas of the profit and loss statement, provided tariffs do not rise beyond current are the key analysts' views on the company: Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated the Outperform rating on Burlington, lowering the price forecast from $340 to $300. In an analyst note, Telsey noted that acquiring prime retail locations remains a key part of Burlington's strategy to expand its footprint and draw in high-value customers, especially as consumers increasingly prioritize value. However, due to macroeconomic uncertainty and rising costs tied to acquiring leases from bankrupt retailers, Telsey lowered the firm's price forecast. She highlighted that Burlington is adjusting its strategy and staying agile in response to current conditions. While tariffs are creating short-term challenges, management believes it won't cause lasting structural shifts in the retail sector. The company's FY25 outlook factors in a 30% tariff on imports from China and 10% on goods from other countries. To reduce its reliance on China, Burlington is collaborating with vendors and sourcing more products already located in the U.S., Telsey noted. She added that the company has several levers across the cost of goods sold and SG&A to help offset higher costs and support profitability. BofA Securities analyst Lorraine Hutchinson maintained the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $350. According to Hutchinson, the increased order volatility driven by shifting tariffs could actually improve merchandise availability for the off-price sector. She noted that Burlington's direct sourcing exposure remains modest at 8%, mostly tied to categories like Home and gifting. The analyst has modeled a flat gross margin for the second quarter. She anticipates 60 basis points of pressure on gross margin in the second half of the year as tariffs begin to flow through. However, she suggested that mitigation strategies could offset this future pressure once Burlington and its vendors have had sufficient time to adjust their production processes and pricing structures. The company has also seen strong comp performance at higher price points, with customers responding well to elevated merchandise. Hutchinson stressed that this trend will continue, especially as more price-sensitive consumers shift toward value options in response to broader retail price increases from tariffs. Price Action: BURL shares are trading higher by 0.23% to $228.33 at last check Friday.

Health tidbits from the recent Lions player media sessions
Multiple Lions players met with the media on May 22, 2025. These sessions can be illuminating as players may disclose previously unknown injuries and surgeries. That happened here with Sam LaPorta. Here are some quotes from the players along with my quick takeaways. Aidan Hutchinson October 13, 2024 Left tibia/fibula fracture "I got cleared a while back." Advertisement There wasn't much question Hutchinson had been "cleared" for football activities as we've seen him rehabbing aggressively the past few weeks. The bone was likely fully healed back in January. Just be aware that being cleared medically doesn't say anything about his chances of getting back to his previous self on the football field - which I think are very good. "As far as playing in the Super Bowl, I guess we'll never know." He was never going to be close to 100% for the Super Bowl which is confirmed by a recent rehab video which still shows a hitch in gait. However, many NFL players in the past have returned for the Super Bowl extraordinarily early in recovery - Terrell Owens ankle 2005, Thomas Davis forearm 2016, Brandon Graham triceps 2025. "My rehab really didn't have very many setbacks. It was a steady, gradual climb." This is great to hear as complications can occur with any injury or surgery. A famous recent example is Alex Smith who suffered infections related to his tib/fib fracture that delayed his return for two years. Unlike Smith, Hutchinson has had a smooth recovery which means he should be fully ready for the start of the season. What was notably missing from Hutchinson's session was for someone to ask if he or the team had evaluated his technique at point-of-contact with the QB. His leg-whip mechanism of injury has been seen at least twice in the past two years. It would be worthwhile to research how often this happens to him in comparison to other elite edge rushers. Aidan Hutchinson leg whip Sam LaPorta "My first offseason, I had ankle surgery." Advertisement This was the most interesting disclosure during the entire media session. Ankle surgery was surprising as he did not miss any games for an ankle during his rookie season in 2023. On December 30, 2023, LaPorta appeared to suffer an external rotation right ankle sprain which could have caused a medial ankle sprain or high ankle sprain. It's uncertain if this was the injury that necessitated surgery, but it was the only notable ankle injury I saw during the season. He finished the game and went on to play the final four games of the season without obvious disability. Of added interest is that in the very next game, LaPorta suffered a potentially-serious, left knee hyperextension. While there is no way to know for sure if this knee injury was a compensation injury, it's possible he took a shorter step on his right leg to protect the right ankle. That short right step may have caused an extended left step which could have led to the hyperextension. "This season, I came out pretty healthy." Advertisement It's great to hear that LaPorta felt healthy after the 2024 season despite appearing to have suffered multiple minor injuries including a hamstring in camp, a right low ankle sprain in week 3, a right knee hyperextension in week 7, and a left AC joint in week 10. Good news that this time, none of those injuries resulted in a surprise offseason surgery. He is poised to have a big year in 2025. Penei Sewell Sewell did not mention any health concerns or offseason surgeries. This is good news as there was concern for a left knee or ankle injury in the final game of the season vs the Commanders. The knee was hyperflexed as his foot was trapped. A high ankle sprain or knee cartilage damage could have resulted from this mechanism. While wearing a left knee brace, Sewell finished out the game. But as we just saw with LaPorta, finishing games does not rule out a future surgery. Entering the 2025 season, Sewell is young (24), elite (2x All-Pro), and healthy. There appear to be no offseason surprises that will slow him down as he continues his Hall-of-Fame pace. DJ Reader "Probably my healthiest offseason in a minute. Haven't had to get cut open." Advertisement The main concern coming out of last season was a left shoulder injury in week 13 that caused Reader to miss one game. The mechanism was concerning for a subluxation that can sometimes require surgery. Thus it's great to hear that the injury was non-surgical and likely minor. Last offseason was a different story as Reader was still recovering from a right quad tendon tear suffered on December 16, 2023. He also had a knee scope in June 2024. Reader will be entering 2025 a year older (31 at start of season) but with a much healthier offseason than last.
