Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton has been named the team’s 2026 Ed Block Courage Award winner, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Singleton is scheduled to be honored this weekend in Baltimore for his resilience following a testicular cancer diagnosis earlier this season.
The veteran linebacker was diagnosed with testicular cancer prior to Denver’s Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite the diagnosis, Singleton remained a key figure for the Broncos' defense. The Ed Block Courage Award is an annual honor given to players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage while overcoming injury or adversity.
This recognition comes at a pivotal moment for Singleton, who is currently poised to become a free agent when the new league year begins next week. He has been a consistent leader in the Broncos' locker room and one of the league's most productive tacklers since joining the franchise.
