Jarryd Hayne's prospects of playing against the Detroit Lions this weekend have risen after the San Francisco 49ers' offensive co‑ordinator gave the Australian a vote of confidence.
The 49ers could be forced to promote Hayne to their 53‑man squad to take on the Lions on Sunday.
The 49ers' decision to sign Harris instead of plucking Hayne out of the practice squad for the Lions game was viewed by some San Francisco media members as an indication of the team's lack of faith in the Australian.
Teams’ co‑ordinator McGaughey who has been the most openly critical of Hayne said he definitely fits in the squad.
