Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn ACL, meaning his 2024 campaign has come to an end after just three games. Since joining the Broncos in 2022, the 30-year-old has racked up 371 total tackles, two sacks, and one interception in 37 games. He's been one of the leaders of the defense, so this is a crushing blow for a rebuilding team led by Sean Payton. In his absence, fourth-year pro Justin Strnad figured to get more snaps in the middle of the Broncos' stop unit.
The Denver Broncos signed free-agent linebacker Alex Singleton to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to a source. Singleton led the Philadelphia Eagles in tackles each of the last two seasons -- 120 in 2020 and 137 in 2021 -- while also serving as a special teams captain. He should help improve the Broncos run defense while playing opposite Josey Jewell, who the Broncos recently re-signed. Singleton had 81 solo tackles, four tackles for loss, one interception for a touchdown, four passes defensed and a fumble recovery in 16 games (eight starts) for Philly last year. The 28-year-old went undrafted in 2019 and had only five combined tackles in his rookie season for the Eagles.
