The Kansas City Chiefs have traded for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs, according to a report from SB Nation on November 10, 2026. The move adds a young receiving option to Kansas City's offense as they continue their pursuit of another championship.
Downs, who entered the NFL as a third-round pick by the Colts in 2023, has shown promise as a slot receiver with quickness and route-running ability. The specific terms of the trade, including draft compensation sent to Indianapolis, were not immediately disclosed.
The acquisition comes as the Chiefs look to bolster their passing attack around quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Downs joins a receiving corps that includes established targets and provides Kansas City with additional depth at the position.
Further details regarding the trade package and Downs' expected role in the Chiefs' offense are anticipated in the coming days.
