Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton returns to field three weeks after cancer surgery By CNN Expansion London 04/23 Ben Church Ben Church 17 hr ago

Alex Singleton was all smiles after the Denver Broncos beat the Washington Commanders in a thriller on Sunday, but the linebacker was happy for more than one reason. Not only had he helped his team secure a dramatic 27-26 overtime win, he was also returning to the field for the first time since undergoing successful cancer surgery. Last month, the Broncos released a statement explaining that Singleton had undergone surgery for testicular cancer on November 7, after being diagnosed the week before.The cancer was found after the 31-year-old had been randomly drug tested by the NFL, with the results flagging concern and the need for further evaluation. But just over three weeks since the operation, Singleton was back in a Broncos jersey and was influential in his team’s win on Sunday.
