    Following his dismissal from the San Francisco lineup, none of the other 31 NFL teams chose to approach Hayne for a spot on their roster.

    Now, the door has been opened for Hayne to be re-signed by the 49ers, and it's a likely possibility following injuries to key runnings backs and punt returners Reggie Bush, Carlos Hyde, and Mike Davis.
