The details of the Kansas City Chiefs trade for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs have finally emerged.

The Chiefs have suffered two early-season injuries to wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton, plus a recent hamstring issue with Xavier Worthy, and have become desperate for help heading into the trade deadline.

After the trade for Downs was announced Tuesday afternoon, there was a slight delay in the reported details. Though neither team has officially announced the deal, ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported the seemingly agreed-upon terms on X. Take a look at the full trade terms:

Kansas City has been looking for help at the receiver position all season,

and it took a fourth-and fifth-round pick to get one of the better wide receivers in the NFL.

It is still unknown if Downs will suit up for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, but look for the dynamic receiver to have a swift impact for the Chiefs' offense when he is available.
