The 49ers claimed Avery off waivers Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Avery appeared in nine games for the Titans this season before being waived, recording three total tackles while playing almost strictly on special teams (100 of 102 total snaps on special teams). The Rutgers product is expected to have a similar role in San Francisco, contributing primarily on special teams during the team's final two regular-season contests.

The 49ers claimed Avery off waivers Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Avery appeared in nine games for the Titans this season before being waived, recording three total tackles while playing almost strictly on special teams (100 of 102 total snaps on special teams). The Rutgers product is expected to have a similar role in San Francisco, contributing primarily on special teams during the team's final two regular-season contests.
Avery (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. The Rutgers product missed the Titans' Week 9 win over the Patriots due to a hamstring injury; however, Wednesday's full practice suggests he's already past the issue. Avery is expected to serve as one of Tennessee's top rotational cornerbacks in Week 10's matchup against the Chargers now that he's returned to full health.
Avery (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Avery is listed as inactive due to a hamstring injury. With L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) also out, the Titans figure to be thin at cornerback. As a result, Darrell Baker, Justin Hardee and Gabe Jeudy-Lally are candidates for increased snaps in the secondary.
