The Broncos lately signed former Professional Bowl linebacker Kwon Alexander to the apply squad, which might assist fill the void left by Singleton’s damage.
The veteran cashed on this offseason on a three-year deal value $18 million after a profession yr final season, when he put up 177 whole tackles and 106 solo tackles.
A former Gray Cup Champion with the Calgary Stampeders in 2018, Singleton has recorded 4 consecutive NFL seasons with not less than 120 whole tackles and 75 solo tackles.
But, the previous Montana State star hasn’t gotten widespread recognition for his consistency.
Now, the Broncos are going to need to make up for this loss indirectly.
Maybe linebackers Cody Barton, Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper can step up of their teammate’s absence.
It doesn’t get any simpler for the Broncos, who face Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets on the highway in Week 4.
