Overview
- Singleton played in Denver’s 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday and had the tumor removed Friday, with team doctors calling the outlook positive pending additional results.
- He traced the diagnosis to a random NFL drug test that showed elevated hCG, then saw Dr. Andrew Zilavy and received an ultrasound confirmation from Dr. Geoff Ledgerwood.
- After informing teammates Monday, Singleton said a CT scan showed no spread of the cancer and described his prognosis as great while awaiting further testing.
- The co-captain and team tackles leader will miss this week’s game against the Chiefs as Denver makes short-term adjustments, including Justin Strnad stepping in and changes to the on-field communicator role.
- Singleton said he expects to return in the coming weeks and shared his story to encourage attention to symptoms and routine screenings.
