Overview

  • Vaughn’s agent, Jovan Barnes, confirmed the deal and praised the 5-foot-6 back’s work ethic and character.
  • Denver hosted Vaughn for a workout last week and finalized the signing after its 20-12 Week 1 win over the Titans.
  • He fills the practice-squad spot opened when quarterback Sam Ehlinger was promoted to the 53-man roster.
  • The Broncos carry four running backs on the active roster—J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin—leaving Vaughn as the only back on the practice squad.
  • Waived by Dallas on Aug. 26, the 2023 sixth-round pick from Kansas State logged 168 scrimmage yards in 14 games over two seasons, drawing frequent comparisons to Darren Sproles.
