Cowboys face Keenan Allen again after 49ers trade for WR
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys will contend with Keenan Allen for the second consecutive week as he transitions to the San Francisco 49ers following a trade from the Indianapolis Colts. In their previous matchup in Week 9, Dallas limited Allen to four receptions for 26 yards. The upcoming game will be crucial for Allen, who is aiming to continue climbing the all-time receptions leaderboard. The Cowboys' secondary may be bolstered by the return of cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who is expected to return from injury. The Cowboys currently seek to maintain their defensive success against Allen, who is looking to support a 49ers offense facing multiple injuries.
