The 49ers signed Hayne to their practice squad Monday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
After Hayne emerged from waivers unclaimed, he returns to provide depth to a injury-plagued running back corps. Among those afflicted are Reggie Bush (torn MCL), Carlos Hyde (stress fracture in his foot), and Mike Davis (broken hand). In the short term, the 49ers may have to employ Kendall Gaskins and Shaun Draughn out of the backfield, though Hayne is laying in wait in case of emergency.
