49ers make key trades for Buckner and Allen ahead of deadline

The San Francisco 49ers traded for defensive lineman DeForest Buckner and wide receiver Keenan Allen as the NFL trade deadline passed. The 49ers, sporting a 7-1 record, aimed to bolster their roster amid injuries to several key players, particularly on the defensive line and at wide receiver. Buckner's return is expected to enhance the team's defensive continuity, while Allen adds experience to a receiving corps missing several starters. Coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned hopes of getting Deebo Samuel back soon as the team looks to maintain its successful season.
