Broncos' Singleton Breaks Thumb, Will Return Soon

Denver Broncos starting inside linebacker Alex Singleton broke his thumb during Monday's training camp practice and will undergo a minor procedure, but is expected to miss only about a week and not any regular-season games. Singleton plans to return to practice with a protective club on his hand. The Broncos are managing linebacker depth issues as Drew Sanders is sidelined for at least four to six weeks with a foot ligament injury. In Singleton's absence, Justin Strnad and undrafted rookies Levelle Bailey, Jordan Turner, and JB Brown will see increased practice reps. Head coach Sean Payton remains optimistic about the team's depth and expects Singleton to resume his starting role soon. The team is closely monitoring the linebacker position as camp continues.
