The Saints released running back Kendre Miller and tight end Treyton Welch, and elevated kicker Charlie Smyth and running back Zamir White from the practice squad.

Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.

Keenan Allen, second on the team with 325 receiving yards, could also be moved as Indianapolis looks toward 2027. Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
