San Francisco has agreed to send Indianapolis a 2027 sixth-round draft pick for wide receiver Keenan Allen, NFL insider Tom Pelissero of The Ringer and Netflix reported on Nov. 10. The agreement came before the NFL's Tuesday trade deadline.

Allen had 40 catches, 351 receiving yards and one touchdown in eight appearances for the Colts this season. He joined Indianapolis on a one-year deal in August and is on track to be available against Dallas on Nov. 15.

The move takes Allen from the 2-7 Colts to the 7-1 49ers. Indianapolis also traded guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner for draft assets last month. Buckner returned to San Francisco in October after the 49ers had traded him to Indianapolis in March 2020.

San Francisco receiver Brandon Aiyuk was recently reinstated by the league. He has not appeared in a regular-season game since tearing his ACL and MCL in October 2024.
