Australian sports editor suggests Jarryd Hayne could consider return to NRL

The San Francisco 49ers waived Jarryd Hayne two weeks ago, and subsequently signed him to their practice squad in advance of Week 9. Given how the team has handled injuries at the running back position, odds are pretty good Hayne will spend the rest of this season on the practice squad.

When the season ends, the 49ers will likely sign Hayne to a reserve/future contract, which essentially gets him signed through the offseason workout program and training camp. It remains to be seen what his future is with the 49ers, but his inclusion on the practice squad likely means at least one more year of opportunity.
