49ers Acquire Keenan Allen From Colts for Sixth-Round Pick

On November 10, San Francisco acquired veteran receiver Keenan Allen from Indianapolis for a sixth-round draft pick as the 49ers addressed injuries at the position before the trade deadline.

Allen, 34, recorded 40 receptions, 351 receiving yards and one touchdown across eight games this season. He joined the Colts on a one-year contract in August and had four catches for 26 yards in their Sunday loss to Dallas.

San Francisco’s receiving group has been hit by injuries in recent weeks. Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel have missed time, while Christian Kirk was put on injured reserve because of a knee problem. Ricky Pearsall and De’Zhaun Stribling are also on injured reserve.

A six-time Pro Bowler, Allen spent 12 of his 14 NFL seasons with the Chargers, first in San Diego and later in Los Angeles. He has six 1,000-yard seasons and five seasons with at least 100 catches.
