According to ESPN, San Francisco had looked at Broncos tight end Evan Engram before landing on Allen, a bigger receiver who can line up in multiple spots. Niners Nation says the 49ers have been scrambling to fill receiver spots all season, and Allen can help until they are fully healthy. The article also says the Jaguars were reportedly interested in DeForest Buckner before he joined San Francisco.

Keenan Allen is adjusting to Shanahan's offense as the 49ers prepare to face the Cowboys Sunday.
Allen, traded from the Colts, said the concepts were familiar but the terminology is new, and Shanahan said Allen's head was probably spinning. Per Niners Nation, Nate Hobbs is a full participant in practice, and with both starting cornerbacks not practicing, the 49ers added Jack Jones to the practice squad.

The deal, agreed at Tuesday's trade deadline for a 2027 fourth-round and 2028 fifth-round pick, was canceled late Wednesday, and neither team gave a reason. The trade was reportedly pending a physical, and ESPN reported Henley took one at the Broncos' facility Wednesday.
