Bills LB Scott McKillop "still seems to be favoring his surgically repaired knee."
It bodes extremely poorly for McKillop's chances of cracking Buffalo's 53, as it's been nearly two years since he tore his left ACL and patellar tendon. A fifth-round pick in 2009, McKillop was waived by the 49ers near the end of camp last season, and went unsigned until the offseason.

49ers waived ILB Scott McKillop.
A fifth-round pick in 2009, McKillop was once considered a possible successor to Takeo Spikes next to Patrick Willis. He didn't come back as strong after tearing his left ACL and patellar tendon last training camp. Also waived by the 49ers: RB Seth Smith, WR Tyler Beiler, OL Donovan Edwards, OG Nick Howell, and P Sam Paulescu.

Updating a previous item, the 49ers have not waived ILB Scott McKillop.
NFL.com had a transaction posted on its website that McKillop was waived, but the 49ers clarified the error on Friday afternoon. He remains on the roster, competing for backup snaps at inside linebacker and special teams duties.

49ers waived ILB Scott McKillop.
McKillop tore his left ACL and patellar tendon just over a year ago, and it's fair to wonder if reconstructive knee surgery cost him a step. He was acting as the 49ers' No. 4 inside linebacker in camp, behind Patrick Willis, Navorro Bowman, and Larry Grant. Unless old defensive coordinator Greg Manusky gives him a look in San Diego, McKillop will probably clear waivers.

49ers ILB Scott McKillop (recovery from torn ACL) remains on track to be ready for 49ers' training camp.
49ers camp is currently scheduled to open on July 28, and McKillop's doctors have told him he should be ready. He'll be looking to backup Takeo Spikes at inside linebacker, and should also see time on special teams.
