Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Friday that wide receiver Josh Downs has requested a trade, but added that Downs will play in the team's upcoming game on Sunday.
Steichen made the announcement during a press conference on October 30, 2026. Downs, a second-year player, has been a key part of the Colts' offense. The trade request comes amid speculation about his role in the team.
Despite the request, Steichen said Downs is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup. The Colts have not indicated whether they will accommodate the trade demand.
