The San Francisco 49ers acquired veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a sixth-round pick, sources told Tom Pelissero of The Ringer.
Allen fills a need for a 49ers team desperate for help at wide receiver. Mike Evans, the squad's No. 1 target and top offseason addition, has missed the last two games with Achilles tendonitis. Deebo Samuel continues to deal with a hamstring injury, while standout rookie De'Zhaun Stribling underwent ankle surgery after Week 1.
San Francisco also reportedly tried to reunite with wideout Jauan Jennings in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings before he opted not to return to his former team.
Allen, a six-time Pro Bowler, has 40 catches, 351 receiving yards, and one touchdown through eight games this season.
