US EditionBroncos linebackers Singleton and Greenlaw return from injuries for season opener against Titans
Both linebackers overcame major injuries last season; their combined leadership and playmaking are expected to strengthen the Broncos' defense in their season opener, coach Sean Payton said.
- Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw, both recovering from injuries, will start as inside linebackers for the Broncos in their season opener Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
- Both players missed much of last season due to injuries, with Singleton recovering from a torn ACL sustained last September and Greenlaw recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in the 2023 Super Bowl.
- Singleton returned to practice this summer after thumb surgery, logged snaps in preseason games, and has eagerly awaited playing alongside Greenlaw since the latter joined Denver in free agency.
- Coach Sean Payton praised Greenlaw’s physical play comparing it to Mike Tyson and said Greenlaw didn’t play preseason but received extensive work, while both players’ workloads will be monitored closely.
- Their return suggests improved linebacker depth for the Broncos, though monitoring will continue due to prior injuries and recent setbacks over the summer.

The Titans have a rookie quarterback — No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward — and they’re traveling to a hostile environment for his first game. Vance Joseph’s group should be licking its chops and there’s no reason to expect they’ll come out anything other than flying. This is the kind of game playoff teams must win. Prediction: Broncos 28, …
