On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced a trade for wide receiver Josh Downs, a fourth-year playmaker originally drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round of the 2023 draft.
The move, which required Kansas City to send 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks to the Colts, was somewhat expected; the Chiefs needed a receiver this season due to injuries at the position. We know Tyquan Thornton (dislocated ankle)
is likely out for the rest of the regular season, but Xavier Worthy (hamstring) will likely be on this week’s injury report, and Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) is always one play away from another soft-tissue injury.
Currently, roughly three-fourths of Arrowhead Pride voters in The Feed approve of the deal on its face. Here are the top comments from the poll so far:
