SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers waived second-year linebacker Scott McKillop on Wednesday.

McKillop tore ligaments in his left knee during practice Aug. 4 and had season-ending surgery two days later. If he clears waivers, he will be placed on San Francisco’s injured reserve list.

McKillop was running as the top backup to starting inside linebackers Patrick Willis and Takeo Spikes before his injury. The team’s fifth-round draft choice in 2009, McKillop led the 49ers with 31 special teams tackles last season and scored a touchdown on a muffed punt return.

In other moves, the 49ers placed linebacker Martail Burnett on injured reserve after he cleared waivers. Burnett injured his knee earlier this week.

The 49ers also signed rookie free agent receiver Bobby Guillory to a two-year contract and waived rookie receiver Scott Long.
