Two weeks ago, the Indianapolis Colts placed backup quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. on injured reserve due to an orbital fracture he suffered in pre-game warmups against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Indianapolis Colts may be looking at making a game-changing move ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4.

With a 7-1 start to the season, theIndianapolis Colts have established themselves as one of the top contenders in the AFC South. With less than a week until the trade deadline, the front staff is now focusing on optimizing roster depth.

Alexander has only been active in three games, which makes him a prime trade candidate for the Colts. The Colts can afford to buy low with a late-round draft pick that gives Indy's secondary just a tiny bit of experience and depth for the second half of the season.

"The Colts invested a second-round pick in Mitchell just last year, making this somewhat unlikely," wrote Holder. "But he has played only 20 combined offensive snaps in the four games since his goal-line fumble in Week 4. The Colts have intentionally limited his playing time and have numerous other options at the position."

The Las Vegas Raiders have not had many things go their way in 2025, and they could be thinking about trades that benefit the long-term.

The Indianapolis Colts' Week 9 opponent, the Pittsburgh Steelers, just made a trade and acquired a new safety.
