The San Francisco 49ers acquired veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick as they bolster a receiver group hit by injuries. Allen, 34, has 40 catches for 351 yards and a touchdown this season, and brings six Pro Bowl selections and extensive NFL experience. Indianapolis continues to trade veterans and collect future draft assets.

Keenan Allen should give the 49ers some reliable targets while their other receivers heal up.
