Former Michigan defensive end and current Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson revealed Thursday that he is fully cleared for football activities this offseason. Hutchinson broke his tibia and fibula in the fifth game of last season at the Dallas Cowboys.

"I'm fully cleared," Hutchinson told the assembled media on Thursday, several days after Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard and defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers gave positive updates on Hutchinson, who underwent surgery on the injury that included fractures to his tibia and fibula.

Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson says he has been fully cleared in his comeback from having leg surgery to repair two broken bones.
