Clarifying Jarryd Hayne's contract status with 49ers for 2016

The San Francisco 49ers promoted Jarryd Hayne to the 53-man roster over the weekend, and he ended up playing a position high 35 snaps. DuJuan Harris had the better day, but Hayne kept plenty active, with work both running and catching the ball.

All indications are that Hayne will remain on the 49ers roster this week heading into their Week 17 matchup with the St. Louis Rams. The team did not sign any free agents this week (it usually happens on Tuesday), and they do not have another running back on the practice squad. It seems safe to say Hayne will finish out the year on the 53-man roster.
