Overview
- During Denver’s 31-10 loss to Kansas City, Singleton was flagged for a late hit after being stiff-armed by Chiefs rookie Emmett Johnson and the penalty put the Chiefs close to the goal line before a touchdown; Singleton also led the team with 16 tackles and five missed tackles in the game.
- The league published a fine for the late hit but reports differ on the exact amount, with outlets citing $11,492 and $11,941.
- Broncos reporter Mike Klis and other coverage say Singleton will appeal the fine, which is a routine step players take to challenge or seek review of league discipline.
- This season the NFL will refund fines at year-end for players who do not show a pattern of infractions, and the league will consider Singleton’s prior fines from 2022 and 2025 when making that determination.
- Singleton’s agent publicly defended him on social media, and the fine has increased scrutiny on his play and availability while the Broncos move forward toward Week 2 preparations.
