Colts Open to Trade Talks for Jonathan Taylor
The Indianapolis Colts are having active discussions about a possible trade of star running back Jonathan Taylor and are now open to dealing him, according to ESPN. The report, from Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter, does not say that a deal is imminent or identify a team that has reached an agreement with Indianapolis.
The news puts one of the league’s most prominent running backs among the key names to watch ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. NFL.com has also identified Taylor as a potential trade candidate, but the active discussions reported Sunday represent the clearest indication yet that the Colts are willing to consider moving him.
Bears Acquire Jeffery Simmons From Titans
The Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans used the trade framework for Myles Garrett as a model for their deal involving defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, according to ESPN. The supplied report does not detail the compensation or other terms of the transaction.
Bears coach Ben Johnson said Simmons is expected to play a lot in Monday night’s game, though he may not receive a full workload. The team’s comments indicate Simmons is expected to join the lineup quickly, while leaving his precise playing time uncertain.
Raiders Reportedly Have No Plans to Trade Maxx Crosby
The Las Vegas Raiders currently have no plans to trade defensive end Maxx Crosby, and Crosby does not want to leave, according to league sources cited by ESPN. That marks a different public picture from last year, when Crosby had expressed uncertainty about his future with the team.
ProFootballTalk reported that the Raiders tried to trade Crosby in March, but the current reporting points to no active plan to move him. The latest reports do not rule out a change in the team’s position later.
Eagles Rule Out a Saquon Barkley Trade
The Philadelphia Eagles do not plan to trade running back Saquon Barkley before the deadline, according to ESPN. The report says the team views Barkley as part of its plans for a competitive 2027 roster, even as general manager Howie Roseman considers other possible moves.
Multiple reports on Sunday echoed the same conclusion, ending speculation that Barkley could be available. The Eagles’ stance does not indicate that they will be inactive at the deadline; it establishes that a Barkley deal is not among the options they intend to pursue.
Derwin James, R.J. Harvey and T’Vondre Sweat Head to IR

The Denver Broncos are placing running back R.J. Harvey on injured reserve after a knee injury in practice, according to NFL.com’s Saturday league update. The New York Jets also placed defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat on IR, per ProFootballTalk; no further injury details were included in the report.
Breece Hall Not Expected to Face Raiders
Breece Hall is not expected to play against the Raiders, according to ProFootballTalk. The report did not specify the reason for his expected absence, so his status should not be taken as a formal injury designation.
Seahawks Clear Zach Charbonnet for Season Debut
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is off the injury report and set to make his season debut Monday night against the Bears, according to NFL.com. Running back Jadarian Price could also return, but coach Mike Macdonald said the team was still working through roster matters and had not confirmed whether it would activate him.
Seattle will be without receiver Rashid Shaheed, who is out with a knee injury, according to the team’s Week 8 injury report published by NFL.com.
