Keenan Allen joins 49ers after trade with Colts

The San Francisco 49ers traded a 2027 sixth-round pick to acquire veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Kyle Shanahan highlighted Allen's ability to separate, catch the ball, and his contributions without being a target. Allen, 34, has recorded 40 catches for 351 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season. The 49ers aim to integrate him quickly into the offense, especially with injuries affecting their receiving corps, including Mike Evans and possibly Deebo Samuel. The team will assess his readiness during practice leading up to their next game.
