What happened: The Denver Broncos are actively pursuing a trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR. Stevens indicated that Denver is making an aggressive push to finalize an agreement before the trade deadline.

Why it matters: Denver faces backfield depth concerns after placing Tyler Badie and RJ Harvey on injured reserve. Acquiring Taylor would provide an established primary ballcarrier to support quarterback Bo Nix as the Broncos target offensive reinforcements before the deadline.

What to watch: The front offices must determine whether Indianapolis is willing to part with Taylor ahead of the deadline. Any finalized deal would require Denver to agree on draft capital and compensation with Indianapolis.
