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. The 2020 third-round pick will explore his options and look to sign with a team in need of depth in the backfield.

Ke’Shawn Vaughn Latest News
Let go by San Francisco
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. The 2020 third-round pick will explore his options and look to sign with a team in need of depth in the backfield.
Sticks around in San Fran
Vaughn signed with the 49ers' practice squad Thursday. The fifth-year running back out of Vanderbilt failed to make the 49ers' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but it now appears that he'll remain in San Francisco on the team's practice squad. Vaughn appeared in six games with the Buccaneers in 2023, recording 42 rushing yards and no touchdowns on 54 offensive snaps.
Misses San Fran's roster
The 49ers released Vaughn on Monday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. The 27-year-old running back was picked up by San Francisco earlier in August in order to add depth to the team's depleted running back room. Now that Elijah Mitchell and Isaac Guerendo have returned to full health, Vaughn has been dropped.
Inks deal with San Francisco
The 49ers signed Vaughn on Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. The 2020 third-round pick out of Vanderbilt spent the first four seasons of his career in Tampa Bay and has now agreed to terms with San Francisco. Vaughn is expected to add depth to a 49ers running back room dealing with injuries to Christian McCaffrey (calf), Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Guerendo (hamstring).
Dropped by New England
The Patriots released Vaughn on Monday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports. The 27-year-old running back out of Vanderbilt signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots back in January, but he's now been cut loose. Vaughn has spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Buccaneers, recording 384 rushing yards on 103 attempts. This move comes as New England frees up space within the 90-man roster limit, and Vaughn will now seek an opportunity to compete elsewhere.
Sitting out again Week 11
Vaughn will be a healthy scratch for the second straight week. He's seen action in six games this year but has struggled to get anything going, rushing for just 42 yards and no scores on 24 carries and adding two catches on five targets for two yards. Vaughn appears to have fallen behind Sean Tucker for the role of the Buccaneers' No. 3 running back.
Role reduced with Edmonds return
Vaughn's minimal contributions were party a byproduct of his sparse snap count, but the fourth-year running back hadn't cleared 16 rushing yards in any of the prior three contests despite a double-digit tally of plays from scrimmage in each of those games. Vaughn could be a healthy scratch in Week 9 against the Texans if Chase Edmonds, who made his return from injured reserve Thursday and logged eight snaps, projects for an expanded workload.
