After tearing his ACL against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 22, Denver Broncos inside linebacker Alex Singleton will travel to California for surgery later this month, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform the surgery in Los Angeles on Oct. 15, according to Klis. It was a clean injury for Singleton, which is good news for the linebacker’s recovery. He should be healed in time to return ahead of the 2025 season, which will be the final year of his contract with the Broncos.
In the meantime, Denver has turned to Justin Strnad to step up at ILB.
“It hurts a lot,” defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said of Singleton’s injury last week. “Obviously, you lose one of your better players, it’s not good for you. It’s a long season, and every year something is going to happen. I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I’m not shook or surprised that we lost a good player. We have guys in that room that have been practicing and playing for us that we had picked that we have to play with.
“When you lose a player like Alex, everyone has to do more, have to be better on game day. The safeties have to be better, and Pat [Surtain] has to be better. It’s a group effort to kind of cover what he gave us.”
Singleton led the Broncos with 31 tackles before his injury.
