Downs and the deadline
Downs is on an expiring rookie deal, and the Nov. 10 deadline is under two weeks away. The Colts already moved Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner this week, so a deal is plausible, but nothing has been agreed.
Two more names on IR
Houston placed receiver Jaylin Noel on injured reserve with a toe injury and claimed running back Emari Demercado off waivers from Dallas. The Houston Chronicle says Noel is expected to miss the rest of the season and needs surgery.
Philadelphia put running back Dameon Pierce on IR and promoted Jaydon Blue from the practice squad. Washington formally moved Terry McLaurin to IR after his season-ending knee injury and promoted Van Jefferson.
Practice reports that matter
Lamar Jackson was a full participant for the first time since his ankle injury. Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) did not practice for Detroit. Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith were listed as non-participants after an Eagles walkthrough. Jaylen Waddle (chest) sat out in Miami, and Tyler Allgeier (toe) missed practice the day Jeremiyah Love returned limited in Arizona.
Ja'Marr Chase was absent from the open part of Bengals practice. Ladd McConkey (concussion) practiced fully, and Jim Harbaugh said Mike McDaniel keeps calling plays for the Chargers. Davante Adams had hamstring surgery, and Sean McVay expects him back closer to six weeks than ten. Matthew Golden is questionable for Thursday night against Carolina, and Kansas City signed Justin Tucker to its practice squad.
