Colts Open to Trade Talks for Jonathan Taylor<\/h2>\n

The Indianapolis Colts<\/strong> are having active discussions about a possible trade of star running back Jonathan Taylor<\/strong> and are now open to dealing him, according to ESPN<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

The news puts one of the league\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Bears Acquire Jeffery Simmons From Titans<\/h2>\n

The Chicago Bears<\/strong> and Tennessee Titans<\/strong> used the trade framework for Myles Garrett<\/strong> as a model for their deal involving defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons<\/strong>, according to ESPN<\/a>. The supplied report does not detail the compensation or other terms of the transaction.<\/p>\n

Bears coach Ben Johnson<\/strong> said Simmons is expected to play a lot in Monday night\u2019s game, though he may not receive a full workload. The team\u2019s comments indicate Simmons is expected to join the lineup quickly, while leaving his precise playing time uncertain.<\/p>\n

Raiders Reportedly Have No Plans to Trade Maxx Crosby<\/h2>\n

The Las Vegas Raiders<\/strong> currently have no plans to trade defensive end Maxx Crosby<\/strong>, and Crosby does not want to leave, according to league sources cited by ESPN<\/a>. That marks a different public picture from last year, when Crosby had expressed uncertainty about his future with the team.<\/p>\n

ProFootballTalk<\/a> 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\u2019s position later.<\/p>\n

Eagles Rule Out a Saquon Barkley Trade<\/h2>\n

The Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> do not plan to trade running back Saquon Barkley<\/strong> before the deadline, according to ESPN<\/a>. The report says the team views Barkley as part of its plans for a competitive 2027 roster, even as general manager Howie Roseman<\/strong> considers other possible moves.<\/p>\n

Multiple reports on Sunday echoed the same conclusion, ending speculation that Barkley could be available. The Eagles\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

Derwin James, R.J. Harvey and T\u2019Vondre Sweat Head to IR<\/h2>\n

The Los Angeles Chargers<\/strong> placed safety Derwin James<\/strong> on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, a move reported by both ProFootballTalk and NFL.com<\/a>. The transaction takes James out of the Chargers\u2019 lineup for the time being; the supplied reports do not provide a return timeline.<\/p>\n

The Denver Broncos<\/strong> are placing running back R.J. Harvey<\/strong> on injured reserve after a knee injury in practice, according to NFL.com\u2019s Saturday league update. The New York Jets<\/strong> also placed defensive tackle T\u2019Vondre Sweat<\/strong> on IR, per ProFootballTalk<\/a>; no further injury details were included in the report.<\/p>\n

Breece Hall Not Expected to Face Raiders<\/h2>\n

Breece Hall<\/strong> is not expected to play against the Raiders, according to ProFootballTalk<\/a>. The report did not specify the reason for his expected absence, so his status should not be taken as a formal injury designation.<\/p>\n

Seahawks Clear Zach Charbonnet for Season Debut<\/h2>\n

Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> running back Zach Charbonnet<\/strong> is off the injury report and set to make his season debut Monday night against the Bears, according to NFL.com<\/a>. Running back Jadarian Price<\/strong> could also return, but coach Mike Macdonald<\/strong> said the team was still working through roster matters and had not confirmed whether it would activate him.<\/p>\n

Seattle will be without receiver Rashid Shaheed<\/strong>, who is out with a knee injury, according to the team\u2019s Week 8 injury report published by NFL.com.<\/p>\n

NFL Reviewing Additional Allegations Against Josh Jacobs<\/h2>\n

The NFL is reviewing additional allegations involving Green Bay Packers<\/strong> running back Josh Jacobs<\/strong>, according to ESPN<\/a>. The supplied report does not describe the allegations or indicate that the league has reached a finding. No disciplinary decision was reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
