The Indianapolis Colts traded wide receivers Josh Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs and Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline. The Colts, currently 2-7 in third place in the AFC South, continue a restructuring effort. This leaves the team with a depleted wide receiver corps, raising concerns about depth. Reggie Wayne humorously suggested he might return as a player-coach to help, although current rules prohibit that role. The new receiving group will face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
