They activate DE Arden Key from IR, sign LB West Weeks to the 53-man roster, and place TE Mo Alie‑Cox and LB Akeem Davis‑Gaither on injured reserve, sidelining both for at least four games. The moves aim to bolster a defense that’s struggled as Indianapolis sits 2‑7 and tries to halt a five‑game losing streak after a 27‑23 defeat to Dallas.

Colts activate Arden Key from injured reserve, place two veterans on IR
The Indianapolis Colts activate defensive end Arden Key from injured reserve ahead of their Week 10 showdown with the Miami Dolphins, adding depth after the recent trade of DeForest Buckner. Key, who missed the past five games with a hamstring injury, returns having recorded eight tackles, half a sack and a forced fumble before going down in Week 4. Simultaneously, the team places tight end Mo Alie‑Cox and linebacker Akeem Davis‑Gaither on IR, and promotes undrafted linebacker West Weeks to the 53‑man roster. With the Colts now 2‑7 and five straight losses, Key’s return bolsters a pass‑rush relying on Laiatu Latu, Jaylahn Tuimoloau and Caden Curry, but injury woes persist across the roster.
Rams Could Acquire 8-Year Veteran WR in Post-Deadline Move
The Los Angeles Rams, now 5-4 but plagued by injuries to Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington, may turn to veteran wideout Darius Slayton after the trade deadline.

Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton argues Stafford needs an experienced perimeter threat as the Rams’ passing game struggles, despite Slayton’s recent drop issues and post‑season core muscle surgery.

New Details on Minnesota Vikings’ Failed Daniel Jones Trade Emerge in Surprising Report
A new report reveals the Minnesota Vikings missed a deadline‑day trade for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones because the Colts aren’t eager to deal him, believing his long‑term upside still exists. The Vikings, coming off a 6‑2 start and the league’s top defense, had already tried and failed to acquire Justin Herbert and Geno Smith before settling on a Kirk Cousins trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. Jones, 28, is approaching a career‑high 10 interceptions in nine games, with a dip in completion rate and limited mobility after his Achilles surgery a year ago. Colts GM Ed Dodds reportedly wants to keep Jones as a veteran option while they reshape the roster via draft and other trades.

While the Giants' bid may have been the best the Colts would see, interim GM Ed Dodds opted to retain Taylor to preserve "optionality" for the upcoming full‑time GM search, hoping veteran talent can aid future roster rebuilds involving players like Daniel Jones. New insight from The Athletic suggests the decision could be a missed golden opportunity for Indianapolis.

The league has yet to clarify the status of Blakeman’s crew, while backup umpires Barry Anderson and Duane Heydt will cover other Sunday matchups.
