## Key points

- San Francisco gets Keenan Allen from Indianapolis for a sixth-round pick.
- Allen has 40 catches for 351 yards this season.
- The 49ers add depth amid injuries to their receiving corps.

## Summary

The San Francisco 49ers have acquired veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts for a sixth-round draft pick, adding experience as injuries have depleted their receiving options. The move matters because San Francisco is aiming to remain a Super Bowl contender while several key receivers are unavailable or only nearing a return.

Allen, 34, has recorded 40 catches for 351 yards this season. Across his 14-year career, he has 1,095 receptions, 12,402 yards and 71 touchdowns; he spent his first 11 seasons with the Chargers. Mike Evans is expected to return later in the season, while Deebo Samuel is due back at practice this week, according to coach Kyle Shanahan.
