In a heartwarming announcement just ahead of their matchup with the New York Jets in London, quarterback Bo Nix and his wife, Izzy, shared the joyous news that they are expecting their first child. The couple, who have been together for several years, took to social media to reveal that they are preparing to welcome their bundle of joy into the world.

“Big news from the Nix family… we’re expecting our first little one! We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter in our lives,” Bo Nix shared with a beaming smile, posting a photo of the couple holding a tiny pair of baby shoes.

Izzy, who has been a pillar of support for Bo throughout his career, expressed her excitement in the same post, adding, “This is the best gift we could have ever hoped for. We are beyond thrilled for this new adventure as parents.”

The announcement comes at a thrilling time in Bo Nix’s career, as he prepares to take the field for a high-stakes game against the Jets in London. The news of their growing family adds an extra layer of motivation for the quarterback as he continues to perform at the top of his game.

The couple’s followers have flooded social media with messages of congratulations, with fans and fellow athletes alike celebrating the exciting news. The Nix family has always been a close-knit unit, and this new chapter is sure to bring even more joy and support from their dedicated fanbase.

As Bo and Izzy gear up for their new role as parents, they also remain focused on the upcoming football season. For Bo Nix, the news only strengthens his resolve as he heads into the game with the Jets, now motivated by the love and excitement that comes with the promise of parenthood.

“We’re just really excited for this new chapter,” Bo said. “And we can’t wait to meet our little one.”

With a bright future ahead, both on and off the field, the Nix family’s exciting journey is just beginning.

The Indianapolis Colts are built to win now — and GM Chris Ballard could look to add veteran help before the deadline.

After a gritty win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6, the Indianapolis Colts showed they can win in every fashion. As this team continues to run through the NFL, a deep run in the playoffs is very much on the table.

With Chris Ballard staring down a Lombardi, he might be looking to attack the trade block in an attempt to patch up this squad, add depth, and get this team ready for January. Ballard has always valued development and draft capital, but this team is too good not to take a swing at a legit game-changer.

Let’s take a look at a few trade candidates that could give this team the depth they need. Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker listed several NFL players who could be on the trade block and suggested the Colts as a possible fit for five of them.

Starting with my favorite, veteran linebacker Jordyn Brooks is sitting on a 1–5 Miami Dolphins team. Even with an unimpressive defense, Brooks still leads the league in tackles through Week 6.

Brooks has only missed two tackle attempts this season. He’s second in sacks among linebackers, and 13th in pass-rush grade among linebackers with a 76.2.

With Brooks in the final year of his two-year deal and Indianapolis’ 35.1 overall PFF grade at linebacker being the lowest in the league, a trade for a solid backer makes perfect sense.

Locker also floated a few other veteran linebackers as potential fits for Indianapolis, including 36-year-old Demario Davis and the resurging Jamal Adams — both proven leaders who could add stability to the middle of the defense.

Next, Locker suggests possible trades for veteran tight ends Mark Andrews and David Njoku. But with this current Colts offensive firepower and their more pressing defensive needs, it’s hard to see Ballard targeting a skill position.

There are also a couple of players I like that Locker listed on the trade block but didn’t necessarily connect to Indianapolis. One of those players comes from the same struggling Dolphins team that’s likely to be listening to offers.

I like the idea of Ballard going after cornerback Rasul Douglas, who’s currently averaging his best career PFF grade with an 82.2 on the 2025 season.

Douglas holds a 77.9 PFF coverage grade with three pass breakups across 161 coverage snaps, making him a prime candidate for a Colts secondary that ranks 17th in coverage grade through six weeks.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Colts find themselves in a rare position — built to win now, but still improving every week. Ballard has never been one to make splashy trades, but this roster might be good enough to warrant one.

The window is open — and the AFC is there for the taking. If Indianapolis wants to make a serious playoff push, the time to add talent is now.
