The Indianapolis Colts have signed wide receiver Keenan Allen to a one-year deal valued at up to $8.32 million. This decision comes as the Colts' receiving corps faced concerns due to injuries, including Alec Pierce's recovery from ankle surgery and Josh Downs' recent upper body injury.

This signing is anticipated to bolster the Colts' offense, which is expected to rely heavily on its ground game and tight end Tyler Warren as they aim for success in the upcoming season.
