Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen has been formally charged with two misdemeanors related to his August DUI arrest: operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The ACE-0.15+ charge is a Class A misdemeanor (up to 1 year in jail, up to $5,000 fine); the OVI charge carries up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.

Allen played in the recent game with six catches for 32 yards.
