Wide receiver Josh Downs would prefer to be playing for someone other than the Colts, but that’s the uniform he will be in this Sunday.
Downs didn’t confirm a report this week that he requested a trade and said only that he’s open to anything that comes, but head coach Shane Steichen confirmed that Downs has asked to be moved at a Friday press conference. He said he has spoken with Downs and that the wide receiver will play against the Jaguars despite that request.
“You’re a professional. Obviously you requested a trade, but you’re on this football team. You’ve got to show up and we gotta go play a game on Sunday,” Steichen said, via Colts radio announcer Matt Taylor.
Downs, who is in the final year of his contract, has 26 catches for 307 yards on the season.
