49ers promote Jarryd Hayne to the active roster; Alex Boone placed on IR

On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers promoted
RB Jarryd Hayne from the practice squad to the active roster. The team had until 1 PM (PT) to activate him in time to play on Sunday against the Lions in Detroit.
It was reported earlier today that Hayne was
traveling with the team to Detroit, giving a strong indication that he would be activated to the 53-man roster.
To make room for Hayne, the 49ers placed
LG Alex Boone on inured reserve, ending his season. Boone suffered a sprained MCL in a game against the Cleveland Browns. He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent following the season.
Hayne, a rookie, was on the active roster for six games before being deactivated prior to the team's first game against the Seattle Seahawks. He was waived the following week and when no other team claimed him, was signed to the 49ers practice squad.
Kendall Gaskins and the newly acquired
DuJuan Harris were the only healthy running backs on the 53-man roster.
RB Shaun Draughn (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday.
Hayne has 25 yards rushing on eight carries this season and has averaged 9.5 yards on punt returns. Hayne was a big Australian media storyline during preseason. Last year, he left a stellar career in the National Rugby League to chase his dream of playing in the NFL.

Mariucci: 49ers might have the 'best roster in football' entering 2021

During a segment on Inside Training Camp Live, NFL Network's Steve Mariucci, or "Mooch" as he is known to fans, was asked to share his thoughts on the San Francisco 49ers as the team prepares for the 2021 season. It sounds like the analyst, like fans, has high expectations for head coach Kyle Shanahan's squad.
While 2020 was a disappointment, the team owned the most injury-plagued roster in the league. The campaign wasn't what coaches, players, and fans envisioned for an organization coming off of a Super Bowl appearance.
"This team, the 49ers, [were] 6-10, last place, and they might have the best roster in football," Mariucci told Andrew

The San Francisco 49ers announced several roster moves today as the team arrived in Santa Clara for training camp. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network had reported earlier that 15 NFL players have been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list as teams prepare to kick off training camps around the league. Fourteen of those resulted from positive tests.
Among those 15 players is 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley. He is slated to be the starter across from Jason Verrett.

How well do the 2021 49ers stack up to the 2019 team?
Lately I have listened to some podcasts and read some tweets comparing the current San Francisco 49ers team (2021) to the 2019 team that fell just short of winning the Super Bowl. I find the comparison interesting. And since many people quickly assume the 2021 49ers are not as good as the 2019 team, I wanted to take a look for myself. So as we prepare for the team to report on Tuesday, let's compare the two teams, position by position. For the purpose of this very scientific experiment, we will assume everyone is healthy (even though that never happens). Let's start on offense. The defensive comparison is coming soon.

How well do the 2021 49ers stack up to the 2019 team?
Yesterday, we took a look at the 2021 San Francisco 49ers offense to see how it compares to the team's offense from 2019. Some have said this year's team will be better than the 2019 team, while others have suggested that won't be the case. In our very scientific investigation, we determined the 2021 offense will be better than the 2019 offense. Today, we will take a look at the defenses.
