## Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs have acquired wide receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts, who have struggled this season. Downs had requested a trade after Indianapolis moved on from two prominent players, and his excited social media reaction showed he welcomed the move to a contending team.

The Chiefs sent 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks for Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick. In nine games this season, he has made 33 catches for 354 yards; across his four-year career, he has 224 receptions, 2,447 yards and 11 touchdowns. Kansas City may also use him as a punt returner after waiving Nikko Remigio.
