- On Wednesday, Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton returned to practice in Denver less than three weeks after surgery to remove a cancerous testicular tumor and is tracking to play Sunday night against the Washington Commanders.
- A league drug test led to an ultrasound that confirmed cancer and prompted surgery after the Raiders game, with Singleton notified Oct. 27 and the team informed in a Nov. 10 meeting.
- Leading the team, Singleton has 89 tackles despite missing one game, with standout performances including an 11-tackle game and nine stops before surgery, as the Broncos aim to extend their eight-game win streak.
- Using his platform, Singleton has urged men to get checked and spoken about the issue publicly after ABC's Good Morning America, saying he has received many messages worldwide and expects his first tackle against the Commanders to be emotional.
- Medical checks so far have been positive, yet ongoing frequent testing will monitor spread, and Singleton notes limited research on returning to play after cancer while discussing chemotherapy and fertility with doctors.
