In the wake of Shaun Draughn's knee injury, the Rugby League convert is set to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
The San Francisco 49ers have officially promoted running back Jarryd Hayne to the 53-man roster. Hayne, am Australian Rugby League convert and fan favorite, has been on the practice squad since he was released earlier this season.
To make room on the roster, the 49ers placed left guard Alex Boone on injured reserve. Boone's season is now done, and his future with the 49ers is murky at best. He's a solid starter, but he could be priced out of the 49ers' range on the open market.
