Alex Singleton’s autumn turned serious and sobering in a hurry.
The Broncos inside linebacker and captain announced that he underwent surgery Friday after being diagnosed last week with testicular cancer.
“Thankefully, we believe the cancer was caught early with a great prognosis for me and my family,” he wrote on social media Monday. “While we are still awaiting some additional test results, I fully expect to return to the field in the coming weeks.”
Singleton said that he was selected for the NFL’s random drug testing program a little more than two weeks ago and was notified that he had elevated levels of the hormone hcG.
