AutoDraft Pro AI

Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton revealed to teammates on Monday that he underwent surgery on Friday to remove a cancerous testicular tumor. The diagnosis came within the past couple of weeks after the NFL's random drug-testing program detected elevated levels of the hormone hcG, prompting a follow-up with a urologist where the cancerous growth was found. Singleton had played 60 snaps in Denver's win over the Raiders just a day before his surgery. He announced his diagnosis and surgery on social media Wednesday, stating the outlook is good, though it's not yet clear how much time he will miss.
