In late September 2026, Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton was fined $17,911 by the NFL for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange. This was Singleton’s second fine of the 2026 season.

By late October 2026, Singleton revealed that a positive doping test in late 2025, which had initially led to a six-game suspension, was actually an indicator of testicular cancer. He explained that the presence of the hormone hCG in his system prompted the investigation, which subsequently led to his diagnosis. Singleton shared this information publicly to encourage others to seek medical attention. 

Amidst these personal challenges, Singleton was recently named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week following a performance against the Arizona Cardinals where he recorded 19 tackles.
