49ers running back Jarryd Hayne may be on roster for Lions game The 49ers' head coach suggested the team hasn't ruled out promoting running back Jarryd Hayne from the practice squad to the 53-man roster before it visits Detroit on Sunday. The 49ers have only two healthy running backs after starter Shaun Draughn suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bengals. With Draughn sidelined in practice this week, the 49ers' remaining backs are Kendall Gaskins, who was promoted from the practice squad Oct. 30, and DuJuan Harris, a five-year veteran who was signed off the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday. Hayne, a former Australian rugby league star, had 25 yards on eight carries in the first six games before he was released and subsequently signed to the practice squad. Tomsula said the 49ers could decide to enter Sunday's game with two running backs, with fullback Bruce Miller being available in case of injury. Coach Baalke: A day after 49ers defensive coordinator Eric Mangini acknowledged that general manager Trent Baalke offered on-field instruction to players, Tomsula downplayed Baalke's involvement in practice.
