Vaughn reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Vaughn was elevated to the active roster for Week 16 and ended up being the 49ers' No. 2 running back behind Patrick Taylor due to the absences of Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) and Israel Abanikanda (coach's decision). However, Vaughn was limited to eight special teams snaps and did not show up on the box score otherwise. His chances of being elevated for Week 17 against the Lions would significantly decrease if Guerendo is cleared to play.

Vaughn reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Vaughn was elevated to the active roster for Week 16 and ended up being the 49ers' No. 2 running back behind Patrick Taylor due to the absences of Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) and Israel Abanikanda (coach's decision). However, Vaughn was limited to eight special teams snaps and did not show up on the box score otherwise.

The 49ers elevated Vaughn from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game at Miami, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Vaughn was elevated from the practice squad for the third week in a row. The fifth-year running back totaled two carries over this span, and, while he didn't see any action on offense last week, he'll likely have to serve as RB3 or RB2 versus the Dolphins. Last week's starter Isaac Guerendo has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, leaving Patrick Taylor and Israel Abanikanda as the top candidates to step up as RB1. Over two games with the 49ers, It's likely that Vaughn will provide some extra depth behind Taylor and Abanikanda on Sunday.
Vaughn reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Vaughn was elevated to San Francisco's active roster for the second consecutive week ahead of Thursday night's loss to the Rams, playing six special-teams snaps without recording a stat.

The 49ers elevated Vaughn from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game versus the Rams. Vaughn got in the mix this past Sunday against the Bears when Isaac Guerendo exited early due to a foot sprain. All three of Vaughn's offensive snaps occurred in garbage time with San Francisco holding a massive lead, resulting in two carries for four yards. Guerendo's status for Week 15 remained in limbo until earlier Thursday, when Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the running back "feels good" and intends to play versus L.A. If Guerendo is able to suit up, he likely would pace the team's backfield, with Patrick Taylor and then Vaughn the pecking order behind him.
Vaughn reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. After signing to the 49ers' practice squad this past Tuesday, Vaughn was elevated for Sunday's win over the Bears, finishing with two carries for four yards while playing three snaps on offense. However, lead back Isaac Guerendo sprained his foot during the win, and if he's unable to play Thursday against the Rams, Vaughn would be in likely be elevated from the practice squad again and serve as the No. 2 running back behind Patrick Taylor.

Vaughn could be elevated to the active roster if the 49ers need depth at running back behind rookie Isaac Guerendo and Israel Abanikanda.
The 49ers cut Vaughn from the practice squad Tuesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. The move makes room on the practice squad for running back Patrick Taylor, who was on the 49ers' active roster through the first eight games of the regular season. Vaughn signed with the 49ers' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.
