Colts add depth at wide receiving by signing Keenan Allen to a 1-year deal, AP source says

The Indianapolis Colts strengthened their wide receiving corps by signing Keenan Allen, a six-time Pro Bowler, to a one-year contract. Allen, 34, has caught at least 100 passes in five seasons of his 12-year tenure with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers and is the team's career leader in receptions with 985. He previously worked with Colts coach Shane Steichen for seven years, serving as a receiver coach and later as an offensive coordinator.

Allen's addition addresses depth concerns in the Colts' receiving group, which has been without Alec Pierce since he signed a lucrative contract extension with the team. Pierce, who caught 47 passes for 1,003 yards last season, is recovering from ankle surgery and is expected to miss the first week or two of training camp. Allen's signing brings experience and a proven track record to the Colts' receiving lineup, alongside veteran Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and other seasoned players.
