Allen (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Steelers.
The veteran receiver had entered the weekend with optimism surrounding his status for Sunday's game after getting a full practice in Friday, and Allen's availability is now official. Before sitting out Indianapolis' Week 4 victory over the Commanders in London, Allen put together the most productive performance of his brief Colts tenure, posting a 6-63-1 line on nine targets during a Week 3 win over the Texans. In his return Sunday against Pittsburgh, Allen is expected to slide back into his usual No. 2 receiver role alongside Josh Downs.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Limited participant Thursday
Rotowire
Allen (groin) was limited in practice Thursday.
It was another limited session for Allen, who is working his way back from a groin injury that kept him out against the Commanders in Week 4. Allen is trending toward being ready to go against the Steelers on Sunday, which would give this receiving corps a much-needed boost.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Officially limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Allen (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
After missing last Sunday's win over the Commanders, Allen's return to the practice field puts him on track to suit up Sunday against the Steelers. He should slot back into full-time duties alongside Josh Downs and Laquon Treadwell, with Ashton Dulin heading back to more of a special-teams role.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Allen (groin) is practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
After missing last Sunday's game against Washington, Allen's return to practice puts him on track to play Week 5 against the Steelers. With Alec Pierce (heel) still on injured reserve, the Colts need all the help they can get at the position after Laquon Treadwell and Ashton Dulin were forced into heavy snaps alongside Josh Downs against the Commanders.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We don't know if Allen (groin) will play in Week 5 at Pittsburgh after missing Week 4 at Washington in London, but you can still stash Allen on your bench in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB. In Week 3 against Houston, in the first game without Alec Pierce (heel), Allen had six catches for 63 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and Allen should remain a prominent part of the Colts' offense when healthy.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Allen (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against Washington.
After entering the weekend with a questionable tag following a non-participant listing Friday, Allen will now miss Sunday's contest in London. Without Allen or Alec Pierce (heel), Josh Downs will be the Colts' top receiver for Week 4, with Darius Slayton, Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, Deion Burks and tight end Tyler Warren all in line for more targets. Allen's next chance to take the field is Week 5 against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Secures touchdown in win
Rotowire
Allen caught six of nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Texans.
Allen was able to take advantage of the absence of Alec Pierce (heel) in Week 3, matching his season-high six receptions while notching his first touchdown of the year in the second quarter, reeling in a six-yard score from quarterback Daniel Jones. With Pierce set to miss extended time, Allen will have a chance to carve out a significant role for himself as a reliable option for Indianapolis.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Colts need help at receiver with Alec Pierce (heel) expected to miss several weeks. Josh Downs and Tyler Warren will be the top targets in the passing game, and we'll see if Allen can step up as well. He's off to a slow start in two games with seven catches for 37 yards on 11 targets, and Darius Slayton (2 percent rostered) was signed Monday night, so we'll see what he does with the Colts. For now, you can add Allen in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB, but just keep an eye on his potential looming three-game suspension stemming from his August arrest on DUI charges. Slayton is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Held to one catch in Week 2
Rotowire
Allen caught one of five targets for five yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Allen failed to capitalize on the first-half exit of fellow Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel). Dating back to last season with the Chargers, the 34-year-old Allen is mired in a 12-game regular-season touchdown drought, during which he has exceeded 44 receiving yards only once. Snapping that funk won't be easy in Week 3 against the Texans.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Facing league suspension
Rotowire
Allen "is facing a minimum three-game suspension" in connection with his August arrest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Allen was formally charged with two misdemeanors last week after being arrested on DUI charges in late August, and the NFL could levy a suspension of three games or more for his actions. Per the report, "Allen is not expected to miss playing time while the case proceeds through the courts."

Colts' Keenan Allen: Formally facing charges
Rotowire
Allen has been formally charged with two misdemeanors related to his August arrest, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Allen was arrested in late August, and he has officially been charged with two counts, including "OVWI with a BAC of .15 or more." Per the same source, "The NFL's policy says an eight-game suspension could be levied with aggravating circumstances (including 'extreme intoxication' with a BAC of .15 or more)."

Colts' Keenan Allen: Team-high six grabs in Week 1
Rotowire
Allen caught all six of his targets for 32 yards in the Colts' 41-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Allen played 36 of 54 offensive snaps against Baltimore and ran 26 routes on Daniel Jones' 34 dropbacks. He ran six fewer routes than Josh Downs, but Allen's microscopic 3.7-yard average depth of target made him an easy pitch-and-catch option for the quarterback. Allen lacks explosiveness at this stage of his career, but he's always been able to earn targets. He's a low-floor fantasy option at 34 years old.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Will play in Week 1
Rotowire
Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday that Allen will play in Week 1 against the Ravens, Jake Arthur of Colts Roundtable reports.
Allen will not face discipline from the team following his arrest on DUI charges Sunday. "We should be good," said Ballard when asked about that Tuesday, and added that "Good people make mistakes. [Allen] is a tremendous human being... he'll work through the process of the legal system." It appears that Allen can now shift his focus to getting up to speed with the team in advance of the season opener Sept. 13 against the Ravens.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Arrested on DUI charges
Rotowire
Allen was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with DUI, FOX59 reports.
Per the report, Allen was arrested overnight in Indianapolis "on preliminary charges of (DWI) and DWI endangering a person."

We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."

Colts' Keenan Allen: Will make Colts debut Saturday
Rotowire
Allen will make his first appearance with the Colts in Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Allen began practicing with the Colts a week ago, and he is now set to see action in a game setting for the first time since joining Indianapolis earlier this month. Fellow wideouts Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs (calf) are both banged up, but both have a chance to take the field in Week 1, so Allen will presumably open the regular season as the third option at the wideout spot for the Colts.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Makes practice debut Thursday
Rotowire
Allen made his Colts practice debut in Thursday's joint practice with the Falcons, Noah Compton of SI.com reports.
Allen wasn't expected to participate in team drills after signing earlier this week, but he took four reps in 11-on-11 work against Atlanta's defense. "He's been productive every single year he's been in the league. So obviously, we want him to be productive again this year," coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday. "He'll come in - obviously, he's been in this system. He'll pick it up quickly, but he'll play outside. He'll play inside. We'll move all our guys around." Allen is expected to be a mainstay in three-wide sets for Indianapolis and could even push Josh Downs out of two-wide sets once Alec Pierce (ankle) is ready to go. Should he emerge as a high-volume target in his new locale, Allen's addition has the potential to negatively affect all three of Pierce, Downs and Tyler Warren's fantasy impact.

Keenan Allen: Return to Chargers not ruled out
Rotowire
GM Joe Hortiz noted Thursday on the 'Up & Adams' show that the "door is not closed" regarding a possible return to the Chargers by Allen, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Allen, who caught 81 of his 122 targets for 777 yards and four TD in 17 regular-season games with Los Angeles in 2025, remains unsigned at this stage of the offseason. For now, Hortiz said that the Chargers are "in a spot where we're looking at the roster and letting (the team's) young guys get a chance. But I've had some communication with Keenan's representation and we've talked." As things stand, Tre' Harris, Brenen Thompson, KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Derius Davis are in line to compete for WR targets that don't go to Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Inefficient in wild-card loss
Rotowire
Allen had three receptions on eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Patriots in the wild-card round.
Allen suffered a disappointing end to his return to the Chargers in 2025 when he finished Sunday's playoff loss with a catch rate below 50 percent. The 33-year-old wasn't on the same page with QB Justin Herbert like they were during the regular season when the duo connected on 66 percent of their attempts, resulting in a 81-777-4 receiving line for the veteran receiver. Allen will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026, so the future Hall of Famer will be in control of his destiny should he decide to return for a 14th season.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Leading receiver on 13 targets
Rotowire
Allen finished with seven receptions on 13 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.
Allen was one of the few starters head coach Jim Harbaugh allowed to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against Denver. The 33-year-old Allen responded to last week's one-catch performance by leading his club in targets, receptions and yardage with backup QB Trey Lance under center. Allen produced solid PPR numbers in his return to the Chargers this season, accruing 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games. Look for Allen to serve as a security blanket for QB Justin Herbert against the Patriots in the wild-card round of the playoffs next Sunday.
