Overview
- Singleton disclosed Monday that he had a tumor removed on Nov. 7, one day after recording nine tackles in Denver's 10-7 win over the Raiders.
- The diagnosis followed a random league drug test showing elevated hCG, after which urologist Dr. Andrew Zilavy evaluated him and Dr. Geoff Ledgerwood confirmed the tumor via ultrasound.
- Team officials say the cancer appears to have been caught early; a pre-surgery CT scan showed no spread, and additional test results are pending.
- He will miss Sunday's game against the Chiefs as linebacker Justin Strnad fills in and the Broncos adjust defensive communication responsibilities.
- The defensive captain leads Denver with 89 tackles this season and said he shared his experience to encourage screenings and early detection.
