Chiefs acquire Colts WR Josh Downs ahead of trade deadline

The Kansas City Chiefs are acquiring wide receiver Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for 2027 fourth- and fifth-round selections. The deal was reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. Downs, a 2023 third-round pick, had requested a trade after Indianapolis moved other players and reshaped its receiving group.
