According to the Lions' official website, Hutchinson has been so good in practice that coach Dan Campbell has implemented the "Hutch rule." The "Hutch rule" is when Hutchinson beats his lineman and registers a hypothetical sack on the play, the coaches ignore it and let the play continue so the offense can get work in.

The Detroit Lions have every reason to be hyped about getting Aidan Hutchinson back. Even in his absence, the Lions defense stayed sharp during their run to the No. 1 seed in the NFC a season ago. But with the excitement of Hutchinson’s return comes the acknowledgement that this will be a very different Lions team in 2025.
