If he does play for San Francisco again this season, Hayne could reclaim punt return duties from Bruce Ellington, or he could see time at running back after Shaun Draughn was ruled out of Sunday’s game at the Detroit Lions with a knee injury – just the latest 49ers running back to be sidelined.

Hightower rushed for more than 100 yards for the first time since December 12, 2010, when he played for the Arizona Cardinals. If so, it was a great finale for a great Saint. “He’s made decisions like this before that are team decisions”.
“For the life of me, I can’t give you an excuse”, Tomsula said. Of course, as Jim Tomsula has said (something actually reasonably accurate from him!), Hayne’s best chance to improve is getting work.

There is little time for Arsenal to wallow, though, as they take on another south-coast side, Bournemouth, on Monday. The first goal was offside, the second a foul and the third was a goal kick.
Harris, who only joined the team on Tuesday, had 11 carries for 73 yards, including a long of 25 yards. It was the new running back tandem of Hayne and DuJuan Harris combining with an improved offensive line that created gaps for them that helped the 49ers to their impressive first half.

That team , Louisville, is going to do some damage. “It was a great, great accomplishment for us to outscore them in the paint”. The two combined for four of the Cats’ 11 made threes, and Hawkins even poured in a career-high 13 points in the process.
The 49ers, 4-10 this season, have a banged up backfield. “It’s a game of inches and we fell short”.
The 49ers will have the rights to Hayne for the 2016 season if he is on their active roster after Week 17.
“I’m capable of playing at this level”, Hayne said.
“I have a lot of confidence in my ability and to go out there and perform the way I did, I think it showed”.
Despite Hayne’s stop-start first year in the NFL, he has signalled his intent to continue his American dream and has no plans, it appears, of making a return to rugby league. The former Eel made an 11-yard gain that put 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert in a position to orchestrate the first touchdown of the game courtesy of tight end Vance McDonald.
“It felt great.” Hayne said.
I thought we d come out in the second half and do the same thing, Boldin said.
Indeed, the 49ers managed only one first down on each of their four series after halftime, turning the ball over on downs twice and punting it twice. He would become the fifth-fastest player to reach that milestone in National Football League history behind Marvin Harrison (167 games), Andre Johnson (168), Jerry Rice (181) and Larry Fitzgerald (182).

The Lions (6-9) had lost their past nine meetings with the 49ers, including a 2011 thriller at Ford Field that resulted in a postgame, handshake confrontation between then-coaches Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz. “They did a nice job in the second half and (it) allowed them to win the football game”.
