Running back Jarryd Hayne will return to the San Francisco 49ers in 2016, general manager Trent Baalke confirmed, per Fox Sports News.
The rookie Hayne, 27, started the season on the active roster as the team's return specialist, was demoted to the practice squad after muffing three punts in six games and was then reactivated for the final two games once running backs Carlos Hyde and Shaun Draughn were sidelined with injuries.
