The San Francisco 49ers acquired wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, adding to an injury-hit receiving corps.
Allen, 34, is a six-time Pro Bowl selection. He joins a group that includes Mike Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis and a rib injury, and Deebo Samuel, who has a hamstring injury. Christian Kirk has a knee injury, while rookie De'Zhaun Stribling is on injured reserve with an ankle injury.
Samuel is dealing with a hamstring issue from an injury he suffered in Week 5, and signs point toward his Week 10 return. Stribling sustained an ankle injury in Week 1 and has no timetable for his return, though he is expected back in 2026.
San Francisco is working to bring Evans’ Achilles ailment to a manageable level.
