Summary
On Tuesday, Oct. 27, the Colts traded guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, per Colts.com. Indianapolis is 2-5 and later that Tuesday traded DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, according to NFL.com. The show frames the Nelson deal as a signal that Indianapolis is open for business before the deadline. For Seattle, the show calls it a practical trench move aimed at a cleaner pocket and a better run game. The episode also notes Baltimore rookie guard Vega Ioane's MCL sprain, which BaltimoreRavens.com describes as short-term, and says Lamar Jackson's status for Buffalo is the story to watch. It closes with a fantasy injury board and NBA and NHL results.
