"ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton called his return to the practice field Wednesday less than three weeks after cancer surgery "a blessing'' and said he is "tracking'' to play Sunday night against the Washington Commanders. Singleton, who still leads the Broncos with 89 tackles even though he missed a game, had a cancerous tumor removed from one of his testicles on Nov. 7, a day after he had nine tackles in a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders."
""If (the Raiders game) was going to be my last game ever, just focus on football,'' Singleton said of his mindset going into that game. "It's a blessing, at 31 just playing football in general is still a blessing -- I talk to all my friends and they get hurt playing rec league basketball.'' Also returning to practice Wednesday was cornerback Pat Surtain II, who suffered a pectoral injury in Week 8."
Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton returned to practice less than three weeks after testicular cancer surgery and is tracking to play Sunday night against the Washington Commanders. Singleton leads the team with 89 tackles despite missing a game and had a cancerous tumor removed from one testicle on Nov. 7, the day after nine tackles in a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Singleton missed the Week 11 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and the team had a bye last week. Cornerback Pat Surtain II also returned from a Week 8 pectoral injury and is on track to play. The Broncos are 9-2 with an eight-game win streak and rank highly in multiple defensive metrics, including third in scoring defense, fourth in Defensive EPA, first in sacks, and holding opposing quarterbacks to a 46.3 QBR.
