With the NFL trade deadline approaching on November 10, the Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly targeting Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs. The Colts, holding a 2-7 record, are in a clear rebuilding phase and have already initiated significant player trades.
Downs himself has reportedly requested a trade, with the Steelers identified as a leading interested party alongside the Kansas City Chiefs.
