49ers bring back Jarryd Hayne
Due to the horror injury toll at San Francisco, coach Jim Tomsula opted to promote Hayne as the side’s predominant running back option against the Lions on Monday morning (AEDT).

Jarryd Hayne has had a powerful start at running back against the Detroit Lions, with his first two carries earning 15 yards and helping the San Francisco 49ers to an early touchdown.
The 49ers, as they have done regularly throughout the season, imploded with offside penalties and missed tackles, spoiling a strong first half by going scoreless in the second. The 49ers will likely go with a full-on committee with him, Kendall Gaskins and DuJuan Harris.
But with two games left, Hayne was brought back up to the active roster to show his development.
While Hayne could help an injury-riddled running back unit, his specialty is as a punt returner, and it’s unknown if he’ll reclaim that role from Bruce Ellington or if he’ll simply play elsewhere to spark the special-teams units.
Playing 35 of 59 offensive snaps was a hefty workload for Hayne, who was promoted Saturday from the practice squad.
Hayne, a day after getting called up from the practice squad, totaled a pedestrian 27 rushing yards and 20receiving yards as the 49ers surprise starter. He appeared in six games and registered eight carries for 25 yards and returned eight punts for 76 yards before being waived on October 31.
The 49ers will have the rights to Hayne for the 2016 season if he is on their active roster after Week 17.
Boone already had been listed as out for Sunday’s game at Detroit, due to a knee injury. I know I’ve just got to be patient.

“Jarryd Hayne stepped up, ran hard and caught the ball in the backfield”, Gabbert, who connected with Hayne on five of six passes, said. Now, with Carlos Hyde on injured reserve and Shaun Draughn inactive, the team needs Hayne.
