Chiefs officially confirm trade with Colts for star WR Josh Downs

The Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts have officially confirmed the last-minute deal that sent star wide receiver Josh Downs from central Indiana to western Missouri at the 2026 NFL trade deadline.

Rumors had circulated early in the week about the Chiefs' purported interest in Downs, and with the deal now in place, head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes can start focusing their efforts on getting Kansas City's offense in gear during the second half of the regular season.

Take a look at the confirmations of the Chiefs' acquisition of Downs from the Colts, which were posted to Twitter by the teams' official accounts:

Downs — a former third-round pick of Indianapolis in the 2023 NFL Draft — is now set to join Reid and Mahomes as one of Kansas City's most exciting pass-catchers just in time to help the Chiefs earn their seventh victory of the season in a highly anticipated Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
