Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Breaking News
Back with Niners
The 49ers signed Vaughn to a contract Saturday. Vaughn will solidify the 49ers' backfield depth with Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) and Jordan James (finger) both sidelined for a few weeks. Vaughn spent most of the 2024 season on the 49ers' practice squad and played in three regular-season games, logging two carries for four yards.
Reverts to practice squad
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.
