The New York Jets aim to extend their two-game winning streak in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. However, the Broncos face a significant setback on defense, as they placed starting linebacker and captain Alex Singleton on season-ending injured reserve due to a torn ACL.
Singleton sustained the injury in the first quarter of Denver’s Week 2 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but continued to play and led the team with 10 tackles. In response, the Broncos have signed linebacker Zach Cunningham to their practice squad.
Singleton’s absence may make it easier for the Jets to move the ball through the middle, considering he recorded 31 tackles in the first three games. The Broncos’ defense has been strong, allowing only 20 points in their last two games, so losing Singleton could be critical.
Both teams are coming off significant Week 3 victories— the Jets defeating the New England Patriots at home, and the Broncos securing their first win of the season against Tampa Bay. Additionally, this game marks a return to New York for quarterback Zach Wilson, who was selected by the Jets with the second overall pick in 2021.
