If confirmation is not there, then it probably did not happen.

Can anyone confirm this report to be true?

Sounds as if the organization did this to clear a roster space and hopefully retain his services for next year. They guy was a good st player, I doubt they give up on him that early.

Meh

He wasn't all that. A guy like McKillop is easily replaceable.

49ers are just trying to IR McKillop. Not likely another team will claim him and have to pay his salary while he's pretty much out for the season. It's the same thing the NY Giants did with injured WR Domenik Hixon (torn ACL on June 16, 2010) earlier this Summer.

wow, some of you and your comments are down right laughable.

Feel free to post your video proof of his sub par play last year

I think most of it comes from the fact he was pulled for Wilhelm after the first series he took over for an injured Spikes.

Im still rooting for him next year, an ex-big east defensive player of the year and used to be a beast of a wrestler. Seems like the perfect TED to me, Big dude who understands body control and leverage to take on lineman. The only negative I see about him is with Navarro we have more of a "mirror image" with Willis, where as McKillop is probably more of a traditional TED LB.

Good to see McKillop will be back with the team. He may never be a star player, or even a starter. But the dude is the ultimate team guy and plays every snap with effort. I'd rather have 1 non-first rounder like McKillop than 53 first-rounders like Balmer.

Hope he makes a solid recovery. He has plenty of time to recover for the 2011 season. And if there are CBA issues...he'll definitely be ready for 2012!

yeah I hope he doesn't become a modern Jay Moore though.

Do not underestimate the value of McKillop. Bill Walsh and George Siefert won a number of Super Bowls with lots of Scott McKillop type players on the roster. They are smart, hard-nosed players who generally do not screw up.
