DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton underwent successful surgery for testicular cancer on Friday, according to the franchise.

The NFL randomly conducts drug tests to ensure that players are in line with the league's policy surrounding drugs and performance enhancers.

Many a player has lost a career after being on the wrong side of a test, but a recent NFL drug test ended up potentially saving the life of Singleton.

A few weeks ago, Singleton took one of the random drug tests, which flagged indications that he might have cancer, and after further evaluation, it was confirmed.

Following his surgery, the Broncos said that he is recovering well, and doctors even believe that he might be able to return to play in a couple of weeks if post-surgery medical tests go well.
