WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — This was anything but just another week.
The Broncos picked up their first win in three games Sunday at Tampa Bay, whipping the Buccaneers in impressive fashion. Awful news came that night when the team learned their standout inside linebacker, Alex Singleton, had suffered a torn ACL despite playing more than three quarters after the injury. He is finished for the season.
On Monday, the team, along with Singleton, traveled to West Virginia to spend five days and four nights at the Greenbrier Resort, where there are two grass fields and one with artificial surface. It rained off-and-on all week, leaving the Broncos to practice Wednesday on the grass fields and Thursday and Friday on artificial surface. Which is fine because the Broncos will play this Sunday against the New York Jets on their turf at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.
J. (11 a.m.
MDT kickoff). The Broncos will leave the Greenbrier on Friday afternoon, bused to Roanoke, W.V.
, where they will fly to New Jersey, arriving Friday evening. We caught up to the Broncos’ head coach for the season’s fourth edition of Payton Files, an interview that will also be shown on the Broncos Huddle at 6:30 p.m.
Friday on 9NEWS. Coach, every team has injuries. But Alex Singleton is a tough one.
