What happened: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs will play against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite an active trade request. Indianapolis elected to keep him in the lineup rather than hold him out ahead of the league trade deadline.

Why it matters: Indianapolis enters the division matchup at 2-5 after dropping three consecutive games, increasing pressure on the front office ahead of the deadline. Keeping Downs on the field maintains his role in the offense, but playing through trade speculation risks injury before negotiations conclude.

What to watch: The NFL trade window closes Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET as Indianapolis navigates Downs' role and external market interest.
