The San Francisco 49ers will look to earn their eighth win of the season when they visit the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The team added veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, just hours before the deadline. Allen is set to make his 49ers debut during his 14th NFL season.
San Francisco acquired Allen in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick. He recorded 40 catches for 350 yards and one touchdown this season with Indianapolis.
## Allen’s 49ers Jersey Number Revealed
Allen will wear No. 3 for the 49ers. It is the first time in his career that he has chosen that number. He wore No. 10 with the Colts and spent most of his career with the Los Angeles Chargers wearing No. 13.
## Allen Prepares for a Quick Start
Learning the playbook was Allen’s biggest challenge during his first week with San Francisco. He said he wanted to be ready without slowing down his new teammates.
“You definitely don’t want to be a guy who’s holding the guys back,” Allen said. “I’m just making sure I’m ready, making sure I’m dialed in with the playbook, and then making sure I can go out and play fast.”
Sunday’s game will also give Allen a quick rematch with Dallas. The Cowboys played the Colts the previous weekend, so Allen will face them again just one week later.
“I get a little rematch,” Allen said. “It’s a great group of guys. They play fast, they fly around, and we’ll see how it goes.”
