The San Francisco 49ers officially announced the trade with the Indianapolis Colts for Keenan Allen, sending a 2027 sixth-round pick in return.

The team also signed cornerback Jack Jones to the practice squad. Jones appeared in seven games with the 49ers before they released him on October 28.

Jones came in when the 49ers were in dime personnel. After a strong start to the season, his play cooled. Big plays and penalties led to the 49ers releasing Jones. In his last game against the Falcons, Jones allowed

over five yards per separation on his targets.

Starting cornerbacks Renardo Green (back) and Deommodore Lenoir (foot) are day-to-day. Rookie Ephesians Prysock would likely get the first crack in the rotation if a starter went down, especially given how things ended with Jones. But in an emergency situation, you could see why the 49ers brought back a familiar face.
