Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton made a significant return to the field, delivering a standout performance in an overtime win against the Washington Commanders. Singleton's achievement is notable as it came less than a month after he underwent surgery to remove a tumor following a testicular cancer diagnosis.

Singleton, who is 31 years old, was diagnosed after a routine NFL drug test detected elevated hormone levels. He has missed only one game this season, even playing after receiving his diagnosis the night before his surgery. Singleton expressed gratitude for his teammates and the support he received from the league.

It is third and 21 from the 25 Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton had a night to remember. With six tackles and this crucial stop in a nail-biting victory against the Washington Commanders in overtime, a game-clinching performance made even more remarkable given just three weeks ago, the team co-captain underwent surgery to remove a tumor. The 31-year-old was diagnosed with testicular cancer last month after a routine NFL drug test found elevated levels of the hormone HCG. In a statement posted on Instagram, Singleton said the surgery was successful and that if sharing his story helps others to pay closer attention to their body, it is well worth it. Singleton has only missed one game this season. He played after receiving his diagnosis the night before his surgery. Last night's scoreboard reflected a hard-fought victory for the team and for Singleton, a triumph far greater than the game itself. You know, I just love these guys. I love this league, you know. The guys on the other teams coming over, giving me support after this, like, I mean, there's nothing else you could ever want in this world. But this team, it's special. I'm just happy to be a part of it. I love these guys. Tom Hanson, CBS News.
