Additional details

- Allen was arrested in August on charges of two misdemeanor OWI (operating while intoxicated) offenses.
- In October, the 49ers acquired All-Pro defensive tackle DeForest Buckner for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
- The Colts may not be done, either, as running back Jonathan Taylor has drawn interest and wide receiver Josh Downs has requested a trade after the team parted with Nelson and Buckner.
