Lions fans are officially a bit nervous.
Detroit is anxiously awaiting the return of Aidan Hutchinson from a season-ending leg injury.
The star pass rusher is the key to the Lions' defense, which could be the key to Detroit's pursuit of a Super Bowl.
New footage of Hutchinson rehabbing and working out shows his leg isn't 100 percent yet.

To be fair to Hutchinson, the NFL season is still four months away. That's plenty of time to build up more confidence in the recovering limb.
Hutchinson broke his tibia in Week 7 last year. He still led the Lions with 7.5 sacks for the season.
In his second NFL season, a full season in 2023, he had 11.5 sacks.
The former Michigan star is in commercials and is a dominant on-field presence, so the Lions just want him back on the field at full strength.
There's still time for Hutchinson to lower the anxiety levels of Detroit fans considerably.
