The Denver Broncos can expect to have one of their veteran leaders back on the field when training camp rolls around this summer. Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton offered the encouraging update ahead of a planned charity home run derby for UC Health.
The event was rained out, but DNVR Broncos’ Zac Stevens called Singleton’s update “great news.”
Singleton, 31, was a team captain in 2024. However, he tore his ACL in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“I feel good. I would say I’m a little ahead of schedule. So that’s a good thing,” Singleton told reporters in attendance for the event on June 5. “[The Broncos] posted it, we’re Malcolm Roach days away from games. So, in 97 days, I think I’m gonna be ready to play football, so I’m excited about that.
“Training camp is obviously, when I plan on when you guys will be in practice, and you’re going to see me practicing. But yeah, I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing, individual drills, walkthroughs; getting with the guys and getting back up to speed.”
The 2025 season is key for Singleton, who has earned $14.6 million in his career, per Over The Cap, and is in the final year of a three-year, $18 million pact.
He will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, barring a change in circumstances.
Broncos Coaches Kept Alex Singleton Involved
The Broncos replaced Singleton with a combination of players, including returning special teamer Justin Strnad, alongside Cody Barton. Barton signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency this offseason, underscoring the significance of Singleton’s return.
Singleton praised the Broncos’ coaching and training staff for keeping him involved and on track for his return to the field.
He resumed team travel by Week 5, and being around was “really good for my mental health.”
“The coaches kind of relied on me, which was nice. You see a lot of guys, sometimes, get pushed to the side, and I didn’t have that. And our training staff is great. So I was taken care of in the building. So, everything from the Broncos, what they were able to do for me, meant a lot and meant the world,” Singleton told media members.
“That’s why I’ve been here the entire time, and why I feel like I’m on schedule to be back out there when I’m supposed to be.”
