Jarryd Hayne active for 49ers vs. Lions
The San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions released their Week 16 inactives, and as expected, running back Jarryd Hayne is active for the 49ers. The team promoted him from the practice squad on Saturday due to depth issues at the running back position.
Shaun Draughn injured his knee last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, which is why he is inactive today. The team signed DuJuan Harris off the Baltimore Ravens practice squad, and waived Travaris Cadet. That left them with two healthy running backs between Harris and Kendall Gaskins. It remains to be seen how busy Hayne will be on Sunday, but he will likely get some snaps.
