After an eight game hiatus from the 53 man roster, Jarryd Hayne made his comeback against the Lions in week 16 to replenish the battered RB position.
After an eight week tour on the San Francisco 49ers practice squad, Australian Rugby League star Jarryd Hayne made his re-debut in Detroit. The day started out with a flash of excitement. Both Hayne and newly acquired RB DuJuan Harris contributed to the first touchdown of the season that occurred in the first quarter. Hayne finished the half with eight carries for 27 yards. The second half wasn't quite as impressive for Hayne as the offense sputtered and only ran 20 offensive plays.
