We have some great news regarding linebacker Alex Singleton.
According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, linebacker Alex Singleton is expected back on the practice field tomorrow, and the hope is that he will be able to play Sunday Night vs. the Commanders. While his status remains TBD at this point and time, this is encouraging news after he revealed a cancer diagnosis after the Broncos’ Thursday Night victory over the Raiders.
Singleton also appeared on Good Morning America this morning and revealed that
his pathology results came back cancer-free and that he is expected back at practice this week.
Great news all around for Singleton and his family.
Singleton played through that Thursday Night contest, knowing about the cancer diagnosis and that he needed to have surgery in the coming days. Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and he is now cancer-free and able to return to the team and practice after missing just one game. While his status is TBD at this point, I would anticipate that we’ll see him actively participate in practice this week and likely be good to go for Sunday Night’s game vs. the Commanders.
The Broncos are coming off a big victory at home vs. the Chiefs, sit at 9-2 on the year, are currently the number two seed in the AFC, and are getting back a beloved team captain who just beat cancer. Singleton’s clean bill of health and return to the field could ignite a second-half run by the Broncos’ defense that could carry them to the number 1 seed in the AFC and hopefully, a deep postseason run that ends with them hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
That would be a storybook ending for Singleton and this 2025 Denver Broncos team.
While Singleton was sidelined, Justin Strnad stepped up and played well vs. the Chiefs, and his return, along with a healthy Dre Greenlaw, gives the Broncos a good group of linebackers for a defense playing at a high level. They could also be getting back the reigning DPOY, All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II back from injury as well.
This Broncos defense has played at an elite level while being without key members like PS2, Dre Greenlaw, and Alex Singleton. Now, the Broncos may have all 3 back coming out of a week off, where they were able to get healthy and fresh for a deep postseason run.
Good luck to the rest of the NFL.
