SANTA CLARA – The 49ers on Tuesday claimed defensive lineman Zach Moore off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys.
Moore appeared in one game for the Cowboys this season after playing a total of nine games the past two seasons with New England in 2014 and Minnesota in 2015.
The 49ers placed running back Carlos Hyde on injured reserve to make room for Moore. Hyde sustained an MCL sprain in his left knee on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. The injury will not require surgery. Hyde becomes the 49ers' 18th player to finish the season on injured reserve.
