He was asked to join the Fiji Rugby Sevens for the upcoming Olympic games, and it was an opportunity he could not pass up.

49ers' Jarryd Hayne: After stellar preseason, fails to produce
Jarryd Hayne saw limited action in 2015, gaining 79 yards on 23 touches.The former rugby league star burst onto the scene with a stellar preseason in which he gained 175 yards (7.0 YPC) while exhibiting his skills as a return man. The glow wore off quickly as Hayne was not able to replicate his success as a return man and was eventually waived and placed on the practice squad due to fumbling issues (three fumbles, one lost in six games games). He was eventually brought back up, where he gained 27 yards on nine carries. While this season didn't turn out to be a success story for Hayne, he will definitely be a project in the offseason, and could see touches in 2017 if he shows improvement.

49ers' Jarryd Hayne: Totals 47 yards against the Lions
Jarryd Hayne rushed for 27 yards on nine carries and added 20 yards receiving on five catches in Sunday's loss to Detroit.Hayne saw his most sizable offensive role of the season on Sunday, recording 14 touches - besting his previous season high of five. Hayne didn't see the kind of success that DuJuan Harris saw on the ground, but surprised by recording the second most targets of the game with six. That sort of role can be short-lived in San Francisco, however, just ask fellow back Kendall Gaskins. Gaskins was targeted seven times last week against the Bengals, but didn't see a pass come his way against the Lions.

Jarryd Hayne: Added to active roster
Jarryd Hayne was promoted to the active roster from the 49ers practice squad Saturday.The 49ers placed guard Alex Boone on injured reserve Saturday, which opened a spot on the active roster for the versatile Hayne. He has been on the 49ers practice squad since re-signing with the team in November, and now that Shaun Draughn has been ruled out for Sunday, Hayne could provide some depth in the run game behind Kendall Gaskins and DuJuan Harris in addition to potentially serving as a returner.

The 49ers signed Jarryd 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.

49ers RB Jarryd Hayne still needs to work way into active lineup
While former rugby star Jarryd Hayne earned a spot on the San Francisco 49ers roster following a sensational preseason, coach Jim Tomsula said he still has to work his way into the active lineup. Hayne will likely be inactive Week 1 against the Vikings, per SFGate.com."Very confident," Tomsula responded when asked about Hayne's ability to catch punts, "but there again (we) are talking about the 46 (players suiting up for a game). How much can you do for the team? ... The things we are doing this week do they fit your skill set? That's where all that comes in. Special teams -- you can catch a punt, but can you do other things? What else can you do on special teams?"I don't want to take anything away from what the man has achieved, but all he has achieved is an opportunity to be in the locker room. That (improvement) has to continue. He is the kind of guy ... who will continue to ascend (because of) the way he does things."
