Overview
- An NFL random drug test showed elevated hCG levels, prompting Alex Singleton to see urologist Dr. Andrew Zilavy and get an immediate confirming ultrasound from Dr. Geoff Ledgerwood.
- Singleton played on Nov. 6 against the Raiders, recording nine tackles, then had surgery the next day to remove a testicular tumor.
- The Broncos and Singleton report a successful procedure and a “great prognosis,” with additional test results still pending.
- He is expected to be sidelined short term and will miss this week’s game against the Chiefs, with a potential return projected within weeks.
- Singleton, 31, is a team captain and Denver’s leading tackler with 89 on the season, and he publicized his diagnosis to urge early detection and regular screenings.
