Overview

  • CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported Denver finalized the practice-squad deal on Sept. 9 after a workout last week.
  • Vaughn was waived by Dallas on Aug. 26 during final cuts after rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah climbed the depth chart.
  • The former Kansas State star has 110 rushing yards and 58 receiving yards across two NFL seasons, with 42 rushing yards in Dallas' preseason finale.
  • Denver's active backs are J.K. Dobbins, Jaleel McLaughlin, RJ Harvey, and Tyler Badie, with Vaughn currently the lone running back on the practice squad.
  • Analysts note Darren Sproles parallels in Payton's offense, and Vaughn could be elevated if injuries or performance needs arise.
