The Broncos shocked fans and media alike last week with the announcement from the team and Alex Singleton that the inside linebacker was recently diagnosed with cancer. He had the cancerous tumor removed and is in full recovery, and said that he hopes to return to the field soon. It is incredible news that Singleton was able to receive treatment before it was too late.
Although it feels secondary in a story like this, there are obvious on-field impacts for Vance Joseph's unit. Singleton typically plays every defensive snap for the team, leaving them without their most consistent player in their first two levels.
