The Denver Broncos face a major setback with the news that linebacker Alex Singleton's season is cut short due to a torn ACL. Coach Sean Payton disclosed the injury following practice at The Greenbrier resort.
Singleton, who played through the injury in last week's victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will undergo surgery in two weeks. His leadership and performance on the field have been praised by teammates, who acknowledge the challenge of filling his shoes.
The Broncos have elevated Tyler Badie from the practice squad to take Singleton's place and added Kwon Alexander and Zach Cunningham to bolster their inside linebacker corps.
