Singleton (thumb) participated in Denver's practice Saturday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton was originally expected to miss an extended period of time after breaking his thumb in practice Monday but managed to return to the field sooner than expected. It is unclear if the injury will limit the 31-year-old at all going forward, and he is expected to serve as one of the team's starting inside linebackers once again during the upcoming campaign after having been limited to just three games played last season.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that Singleton (thumb) underwent surgery and is expected to miss roughly one week, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton suffered a broken thumb during Monday's practice but should be back on the field next week. That means the veteran linebacker could tentatively be ready for Denver's preseason opener at San Francisco on Aug. 9, though the Broncos' starters likely won't take the field for that contest. Singleton was limited to just three regular-season contests in 2024, but he tallied four consecutive seasons with 100 plus tackles from 2020 to 2023.

Singleton suffered a broken thumb at Monday's practice but should return next week, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The inside linebacker tore his ACL in Week 3 last year and missed the rest of the season. Singleton has started 31 of the 37 games he's played in since joining the Broncos ahead of the 2022 campaign. The former Eagle recorded more than 100 tackles in four straight seasons from 2020-2023, and he is projected to play a starting role for Denver again in 2025.

Singleton (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton was expected to be ready for the regular season, so it's no surprise he's returned to the field for OTAs after tearing his ACL during the Broncos' Week 3 win in 2024. The Montana State product was one of the NFL's top tackles prior to his injury, recording 177 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and four passes defended across 17 regular-season games in 2023. Now that he's returned, Singleton is likely to remain one of the team's top defensive playmakers in 2025.

Singleton (knee) is expected to be healthy for the start of the regular season, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton tore his ACL during the team's Week 3 win over the Buccaneers last season but is close to being ready to make his return. If healthy for the the start of the regular season, the 31-year-old will likely serve as one of Denver's starting linebackers.

Singleton will have surgery to repair his ACL on Oct. 15, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton tore the ACL in his right knee against the Buccaneers in Week 3 and won't return to action this season. If his surgery is successful, Singleton should be ready to suit up by the time the 2025 campaign comes around.

Singleton (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton's move to IR comes after it was reported by Nick Kosmider of The Athletic that the Montana State product suffered an ACL tear during Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. Surprisingly, Singleton was able to stay in the game and play through the injury but will ultimately need surgery to repair his ACL, which is scheduled to take place in about two weeks.

Singleton suffered an ACL tear during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton played through the injury during Sunday's game and must have been surprised by the diagnosis afterward. He'll be placed on injured reserve for the rest of the season, with surgery scheduled for early-to-mid October. Singleton had at least 120 tackles and 16 games played each of the past four years, including 163 tackles in 2022 and 177 in 2023. He played every defensive snap through three weeks this year, recording 31 tackles (17 solo) and an interception while serving as Denver's defensive playcaller. Cody Barton likely will take over the green-dot responsibilities and get additional playing time in passing situations, but the Broncos also need a depth player to step up for more snaps at inside linebacker, where options include Kristian Welch, Justin Strnad, Kwon Alexander (practice squad) and Zach Cunningham (practice squad).

Singleton recorded 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton tallied double-digit tackles for the second-straight contest, and now has recorded a team-high 31 total tackles through three weeks. The veteran linebacker should remain a solid IDP option for fantasy, as he is on his way to another stellar season in Denver. Singleton will look to continue his strong start to the 2024 campaign when the Broncos visit the Jets in Week 4.

Singleton finished Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers with 11 tackles (seven solo).
EDGE Analysis
Singleton was the Broncos' leading tackler Sunday. He leads Denver with 20 tackles through two games, and he ranks ninth in the NFL in that category. Singleton is well on his way to recording his fifth-straight season of 100-plus tackles, and he'll continue that quest against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in Week 3.
