Singleton (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Singleton sat out Denver's Week 11 win over the Chiefs after undergoing surgery Nov. 7 to have a cancerous tumor removed from one of his testicles. The Broncos' Week 12 bye helped the linebacker's recovery process, and he practiced in full all three days leading up to Sunday's matchup. The 31-year-old missed just four snaps through 10 weeks of play, and his return coupled with star cornerback Patrick Surtain's (pectoral) will strengthen an already dominant Broncos defense as Denver pursues its first AFC West title since 2015.

Broncos' Alex Singleton: Not playing in Week 11
Rotowire
Singleton (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Last Friday, Singleton underwent surgery for testicular cancer that was discovered the previous Monday. He proceeded to play last Thursday against the Raiders, logging all 60 defensive snaps en route to nine tackles, but he'll now miss at least one game as he embarks on his recovery effort, which doesn't have a firm timetable at this time, according to DiLalla. After Sunday, the Broncos have a Week 12 bye, meaning his next possible chance to play is Sunday, Nov. 30 at Washington.

Broncos' Alex Singleton: Recovering from surgery
Rotowire
Singleton (groin) announced Monday that he is recovering from a surgery he underwent to remove a cancerous tumor after Denver's win over the Raiders on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Singleton said the "prognosis is excellent" and that he expects "to return to the field very soon," though his status for Sunday's upcoming road matchup against the Chiefs now appears uncertain. The veteran linebacker has held down an every-down role on defense for the Broncos, and he's racked up 89 tackles (36 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one interception across 10 regular-season appearances so far. If he were to miss any time, Dre Greenlaw would likely be thrust into a starting role at interior linebacker.

Broncos' Alex Singleton: Returns Thursday
Rotowire
Singleton (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Singleton was expected to be ready for the regular season, so it's no surprise he's returned to the field for OTAs after tearing his ACL during the Broncos' Week 3 win in 2024.

Broncos' Alex Singleton: Sets career high in tackles
Rotowire
Singleton made a career-high 177 tackles (106 solo) to go with two sacks, four passes defended and two fumble recoveries while playing all 17 games of the 2023 season.
Singleton led the Broncos in tackles by a wide margin this season, as the veteran continued to be a dominant force in Denver's defense. The 30-year-old linebacker signed a three-year, $18 million contract last offseason, and he proved to be worth the investment as he recorded the third-most tackles in the league this season.
