What happened: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs expressed frustration after suffering multiple dropped passes in Sunday's defeat. The miscues came during a fifth consecutive loss for Indianapolis.

Why it matters: Downs requested a trade in the final year of his contract, with Indianapolis previously seeking a third-round draft pick after receiving an offer. At 2-7 on the season, the Colts must decide whether to move the receiver before the deadline.

By the numbers: Downs has caught 30 passes for 330 yards and 1 touchdown in 2026 through 8 games. Indianapolis is 2-7 through 9 games this season, currently on a five-game losing streak.

What to watch: Watch for whether Indianapolis finds a trade partner for Downs before the deadline passes.
