Alex Singleton broke his thumb in Broncos practice
Singleton left the practice session early and Mike Klis of KUSA reports that he broke his thumb. Singleton is expected to miss a week or so as a result of the injury and then should be able to play with a club to protect his hand.
The Broncos lost Drew Sanders to a foot injury over the weekend, so they'll be thin at the position for the next stretch.
Singleton is returning from a torn ACL that he suffered early last season. He is expected to have a starting role in Denver once he recovers from his current injury.

Full Broncos player ratings unveiled in 'Madden NFL 26'
EA Sports revealed select player ratings for Madden NFL 26 last week leading up to the full reveal last Friday. Following the full unveiling, we now know the ratings for every Denver Broncos player in this year's version of the popular NFL video game. Denver's highest-rated player is cornerback Pat Surtain (97 overall), who saw his rating jump two spots from last year. If that trend continues, PS2 is on track to have a perfect 99 overall rating next year. The team's highest-rated player on offense is guard Quinn Meinerz (95), who made a big jump from being rated 87 overall in 2024. Check out the full ratings for each position group below. Broncos Madden player ratings Quarterback A decent improvement for Bo Nix, who is up from his 71 overall rating in last year's game. Running back Not only is RJ Harvey far behind J.K. Dobbins, the rookie hasn't even reached the rating of teammate Jaleel McLaughlin yet. That could change with in-season ratings updates. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton remains the top dog in Denver's wide receiver room. Marvin Mims is an All-Pro returner, though, so his 77 overall grade feels a bit low. Tight end/fullback Michael Burton is the sixth-best fullback in the game (there are 12 FBs in this year's Madden), and Evan Engram is the 10th-best tight end. Offensive line Quinn Meinerz is the top-rated guard in this year's Madden. Not pictured: Alex Palczewski (64), Clay Webb (63), Frank Crum (63) and Will Sherman (59). Defensive line Zach Allen remains criminally underrated, and JFM, D.J. Jones and Malcolm Roach feel way too low as well. Outside linebackers Still not much love for Nik Bonitto, either. Inside linebackers Dre Greenlaw is the eighth-best inside linebacker in the game. Cornerback Pat Surtain is not a member of the 99 Club yet, but he is the highest-rated cornerback in the game. Jahdae Barron is tied for having the seventh-best rating among rookies. Safety The Broncos have a very strong safety duo both in real life and in the video. Special teams Wil Lutz is 77 overall ... not bad, not great. Madden NFL 26 will be released on Aug. 14, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC devices.

Broncos roster: LB Levelle Bailey (No. 56) aims to win bigger role in 2025
Broncos Wire's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at second-year linebacker, Levelle Bailey, No. 56. Before the : Bailey (6-2, 225 pounds) was a five-year player at Fresno State, in the Mountain West Conference. Bailey played in 58 college games from 2019-23, racking up 277 total tackles (160 solo, 117 assisted, 26 tackles for loss), 7.0 sacks, six interceptions, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 22 pass deflections. Broncos tenure: Bailey was signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL draft. In the preseason, Bailey impressed the Broncos with a 94-yard pick-six against the Arizona Cardinals. Bailey fought his way onto the Broncos' initial 53-man roster before being reassigned to the practice squad. He eventually ended up back on the active roster and got most of his playing time on special teams. Bailey played 152 total snaps in 2024, playing in 10 games, making five total tackles (one solo, four assisted). Chances to make the 53-man roster: Likely. Bailey has experience with the Denver coaching staff, and he is likely a candidate to serve as a key special teams player. If he does not make the 53-man roster, Bailey would be a top candidate for the practice squad. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Broncos roster: LB Justin Strnad (No. 40) coming off career year
Broncos Wire's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at sixth-year linebacker Justin Strnad, No. 40. Before the : Strnad (6-3, 235 pounds) was a four-year player at Wake Forest from 2016-19, playing in 46 games throughout his time with the Demon Deacons. Strnad compiled 244 total tackles (145 solo, 99 assisted, 24 tackles for loss), 8.0 sacks, four interceptions, 10 pass deflections, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Strnad's productive college career led to him being selected by the Denver Broncos in the fifth round (178 overall) of the 2020 NFL draft. Broncos tenure: Strnad's rookie season ended before it began, when he suffered a season-ending wrist injury. Strnad came back in 2021, making 36 total tackles (23 solo, 13 assisted) and three quarterback hits. From 2022-23, Strnad was exclusively playing special teams, playing over 80 percent of special teams snaps each year, making 10 total tackles (eight solo, two assisted). Strnad had a breakout season on defense in 2024, playing in all 17 games and one postseason game. He stepped up when starting linebacker Alex Singleton tore his ACL against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3. Strnad made 73 total tackles (48 solo, 25 assisted, eight tackles for loss), three pass deflections and 3.0 sacks in eight starts last fall. Chances to make the 53-man roster: Likely. Strnad helped step up in the absence of Singleton, along with the likes of Cody Barton. Barton departed in free agency, and the Broncos signed former 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw, likely putting Strnad in a backup role behind Singleton and Greenlaw. With starting experience, though, Strnad is a valuable rotational linebacker, and he should have a key role in the kicking game. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
