The Mole will be happy. Coach Tomsula is speaking about him.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jarryd Hayne has had some shining moments during the preseason, but a report that he has been assured a roster spot may be premature.
A tweet that circulated Tuesday morning claimed that Hayne had told family and friends he had already made the 49ers 53-man roster. 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula refuted that report during an appearance on KNBR 680-AM in San Francisco.
I dont know what the rules are in the media in Australia, but you might want to fact check, Tomsula said, per Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury-News. The 53 is not set.
Hayne has been impressive, particularly as a punt returner. Hayne didn't get as many opportunities in that area during the 49ers' last preseason game, but Tomsula said he is satisfied with what Hayne has shown there.
"First of all, to separate Jarryd from the total picture, I'm pretty confident in Jarryd's ability to field the ball," Tomsula said, per NinersNation.com. "I've see him field, I've watched a ton of tape on this guy fielding a rugby ball. I've seen him field here at practice. I've seen him field in game situations. So, I feel very good about his abilities to field. I feel very good about his abilities to perform with a ball in his hands on special teams. The tackling part of it and the coverage parts of it, seen a lot of improvement there. I mean the guy will fly down the field in those areas, so all of those things we've seen, I've seen what I need to see. I think it's been a great evaluation on him."
