Wednesday brought more trade deadline fallout in Indianapolis and several notable practice reports as teams prepare for Week 8. The Colts\u2019 fire sale is picking up steam, with Josh Downs reportedly asking for a trade a day after the team traded two impact players, while the Ravens, Bengals and Rams each had a star player either return or remain out of practice. Downs requested a trade while Jonathan Taylor has not, and Lamar Jackson was a full participant for Baltimore as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Ja\u2019Marr Chase sat out Cincinnati\u2019s practice due to an ankle injury, but he also had a rest designation, and the Rams are still waiting on Myles Garrett, who remains on injured reserve and won\u2019t return to practice this week. Here\u2019s the latest from around the NFL on Wednesday. Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has reportedly asked out of Indianapolis, according to ESPN. The request came a day after the Colts traded team captains Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and DeForest Buckner to the 49ers. Downs didn\u2019t push back when asked about it Wednesday. “I\u2019m day by day. I mean, I\u2019m here right now,” he said. “Like I said, I\u2019m open to whatever, whatever comes my way comes my way and you go from there.” Downs, 25, is in the final year of his rookie contract and leads the Colts with 26 catches for 307 yards, though he hasn\u2019t scored in seven games. Fowler reported that multiple teams have already made offers, and the trade deadline is Nov. 10. The Colts enter Week 8 at 2-5, having lost three straight and are spiraling. They blew a 13-point halftime lead to the previously winless Titans, and GM Chris Ballard was fired the next day, with Ed Dodds taking over. Coach Shane Steichen fielded questions about his own job security. He said Taylor, the team\u2019s top remaining asset, has not requested a trade. “Those are hypothetical things right now,” Steichen said. “I know there’s stuff floating around out there, but JT’s on our football team.” Taylor is scheduled to speak with reporters Thursday. Indianapolis visits the Jaguars on Sunday. The wait for Rams’ defensive end Myles Garrett\u2019s return for the Rams continues. Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Wednesday that Garrett will not practice this week, meaning the star defensive end will miss his seventh straight game Sunday against the Chargers. “I know it\u2019s frustrating, but he\u2019s making good progress, and we\u2019re just on a week-to-week basis right now,” McVay said. He added that Garrett hasn\u2019t had a setback and that he doesn\u2019t expect further surgical procedures. Garrett has been on injured reserve since undergoing knee surgery after his zero-tackle debut in Australia. The Rams sent defensive end Jared Verse and three high draft picks to Cleveland for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, who was expected to anchor a revamped defense. Instead, the Rams have just 10 sacks, fewer than all but four teams and far off last season\u2019s 47. Garrett had been remarkably durable, playing at least 16 games in each of the past five seasons. McVay also said receiver Davante Adams underwent hamstring surgery, and the Rams are optimistic he\u2019ll return close to the six-week minimum. Bengals wide receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase did not practice Wednesday as the Bengals began preparing for the Titans. Cincinnati\u2019s injury report listed Chase as a non-participant with a rest designation and an ankle injury. He wasn\u2019t on last week\u2019s report, and coach Zac Taylor didn\u2019t mention any issue with him Monday. Chase looked healthy in Sunday\u2019s 35-13 win over the Ravens, catching five of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. He has scored in four of his last five games and has 32 catches for 351 yards and five touchdowns through six games this season. He left the Oct. 4 loss to the Jaguars in the second quarter with a concussion but returned for Week 5 at Miami. Cincinnati is 4-2, and Thursday and Friday\u2019s injury reports should reveal whether the ankle is a real concern. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took a significant step toward ending his absence, going through Wednesday\u2019s practice as a full participant. Jackson reportedly jogged onto the field with his left ankle taped and warmed up with center Cam Jurgens. ESPN reported Tuesday that he\u2019s believed to be close to full strength and tracking toward playing Sunday at Buffalo. Coach Jesse Minter didn’t confirm whether Jackson would play this week. “I think the more you\u2019re able to do and respond from and feel from certainly raises your optimism,” he said. “But again, we\u2019ll kind of see how it goes throughout the week.” Jackson hasn\u2019t played since leaving the Oct. 4 win over the Titans at halftime. Last week, he told reporters he\u2019d been told the injury was a high ankle sprain. He was limited in practice last week but sat out Baltimore\u2019s 35-13 home loss to the Bengals, his third straight missed game. The Ravens have gone 1-2 without Jackson and sit at 4-3. The Ravens visit the 5-1 Bills, who lead the AFC East, on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
