Field Yates of ESPN reports that the RB Kendall Hunter went unclaimed on waivers and will now revert to the 49ers injured reserve list.
San Francisco waived/injured Hunter on Monday, but the fact that he has a serious knee injury and is in the final year of his contract made it unlikely that he would be claimed.
San Francisco has said that they would like to re-sign Hunter next year, even after he suffered the knee injury.
Last year, Hunter appeared in all 16 games for the 49ers and ran for 358 yards on 78 carries (4.6 YPC) and three touchdowns.
