The San Francisco 49ers acquired wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, Nov. 10, in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, the Colts announced ahead of the 1 p.m. PT trade deadline.
Allen, who signed with Indianapolis as a free agent in August, caught 40 passes for 351 yards and one touchdown in eight games this season. The Colts said his 1,095 career receptions rank eighth in NFL history. NFL.com reported that the 34-year-old, a six-time Pro Bowl selection from his years with the Los Angeles Chargers, has 12,402 receiving yards and 71 touchdowns in 14 seasons.
The trade is the second between the teams since late October, after the 49ers acquired defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. NFL.com said San Francisco's receiving group has been without Mike Evans (rib/Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring).
