Bruce Ellington to handle 49ers returns on Sunday

The San Francisco 49ers look set to have Jarryd Hayne on their 53-man roster this Sunday, but it appears he will once again focus on running back work. Special teams coach Thomas McGaughey was asked if Hayne could get some return work if Mike Davis is activated off the injured reserve with his return designation. McGaughey said, "Bruce is going to be our kick returner. That's who he is. That's what he's been the whole year. That Mike Davis thing doesn't really play into Jarryd being back there."

He specifically references kick returner, so we could read a little into that.
