News

  • Shut out of game plan Thursday

    Vaughn didn't see a touch and got only three snaps on offense in Thursday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The 2023 sixth-round pick continues to be a distant third in the Dallas backfield hierarchy behind Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott, and Vaughn failed to touch the ball in Week 4 for the first time all season. With Dalvin Cook stashed on the practice squad and the Cowboys getting little production from their running game, Vaughn's hold on a 53-man roster spot appears tenuous at best.

  • Minimal workload Sunday

    Vaughn carried the ball twice for five yards and caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Rico Dowdle (3.8 yards per carry on the season) and Ezekiel Elliott (3.3 yards per carry) continue to be very unimpressive as the Cowboys' two lead running backs, but that hasn't resulted in Vaughn getting much of a chance to prove himself. The 2023 sixth-round pick is only averaging 2.9 yards per carry himself on seven totes through three games, so he hasn't made a strong case for a bigger role heading into a Week 4 clash with the Giants.

  • Fives touches Sunday

    Vaughn carried the ball four times for 11 yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The second-year player continues to mix into the backfield behind Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott, but Vaughn has yet to find much running room, as his six-yard reception Sunday is his longest gain of the year so far. Should Dallas decide to elevate Dalvin Cook from the practice squad at some point, it could be Vaughn who loses his spot on the game-day roster.

  • Looks good against Bolts

    Vaughn carried the ball nine times for 53 yards and failed to catch two targets in Saturday's 26-19 preseason loss to the Chargers. He added 23 yards on one kickoff return.

    Analysis: Vaughn mixed into the backfield on the Cowboys' first drive of the day, and the Kansas State product showed off his ability to produce chunk plays with an 18-yard scamper in the second quarter that set up Dallas' first touchdown of the day. Vaughn is fighting for a spot on the season-opening roster behind Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle in the backfield, and the fact that he got carries before Royce Freeman and out-produced the veteran can be taken as a positive sign for his chances.

  • Strong showing Saturday

    Vaughn carried the ball five times for 34 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders. He also returned one kickoff for 25 yards.

    Analysis: The undersized back looked good in his first exhibition action after missing the Cowboys' preseason opener due to a hamstring injury. Vaughn led all Dallas backs in rushing yards and showed some surprising power through contact in addition to his usual elusiveness. The 2023 sixth-round pick is fighting for a depth spot behind Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle in the backfield, and his ability to contribute on special teams could help him secure a spot on the game-day roster.

  • Back at practice

    Vaughn (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Vaughn, who last practiced July 31, worked with all three of the Cowboys' offensive units in his return to practice. Now that the 2023 sixth-round draft pick is back in the mix, he'll look to carve out a change-of-pace role in a Dallas backfield that also includes Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle, Royce Freeman and Malik Davis.

  • Sidelined by hamstring injury

    Vaughn missed the past couple practices with a hamstring injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Vaughn's absence during the second week of training camp may impact his chances of earning a spot on the 53-man roster. Early reports suggest Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Royce Freeman are all ahead of Vaughn, a 2023 sixth-round pick who barely played as a rookie.

  • Could take slot snaps?

    Vaughn (ankle) is a candidate to earn more work out of the slot this offseason, Reid Hanson of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Vaughn only suited up for seven games as a rookie before landing on IR, across which he totaled just 80 yards from scrimmage without a touchdown. Now presumably healthy, the 5-foot-6 running back could have a clearer path to backfield opportunities with Tony Pollard having moved on to Tennessee, even with Ezekiel Elliott now back atop the depth chart. The slot could be a more natural fit for Vaughn, though to emerge as an actual fantasy contributor in Year 2, he'll need to earn more than the…read more

  • Placed on IR with ankle injury

    Vaughn was placed on injured reserve Wednesday with an ankle injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After a promising preseason, Vaughn failed to carve out a prominent role in the regular season. The 5-foot-6 running back out of Kansas State was frequently left inactive on game days and finishes his rookie campaign with 23 carries for 40 yards, as well as seven catches on as many targets for 40 yards.

  • Three touches against Detroit

    Vaughn carried the ball twice for two yards and caught his only target for 10 yards in a Week 17 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: With Rico Dowdle (ankle) unavailable, Vaughn stepped in as the backup to Tony Pollard and saw a modest workload in a 20-19 victory. It was still the rookie's highest touch volume since Week 5, as the diminutive speedster has been inactive for all but two games since then. The Cowboys will be looking to lock up the NFC East title Week 18, so Vaughn figures to see minimal involvement again even if Dowdle sits out a second straight game.

  • Won't play Week 16

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Vaughn has now been a healthy scratch for six consecutive weeks, with his last appearance coming in Week 10 against the Giants. He 68 scrimmage yards on 27 touches this season.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Vaughn will sit out for the fourth straight game. His last appearance was in Week 10 against the Giants when he rushed for minus-two yards on his only carry while adding an 11-yard reception. Rico Dowdle will provide backfield depth behind Tony Pollard for Sunday's NFC East clash.

  • Inactive Thursday

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Vaughn is third on the Dallas running back depth chart behind Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle. The rookie has 21 carries for 38 yards and six catches for 30 yards on 52 offensive snaps this season.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive Thursday against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Vaughn will take a seat again in Week 12, as Rico Dowdle (ankle) will play against Washington. The former's next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Seahawks.

  • Back to inactive list

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Carolina, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The 22-year-old suited up last week against the Giants after being a healthy scratch the previous three games, and he'll return to the inactive list Sunday with Rico Dowdle (ankle) available. Vaughn has 21 carries for 38 yards and six catches for 30 yards in six games this season, and his role is unlikely to change much while Dowdle and starter Tony Pollard are healthy.

  • Garners active status Week 10

    Vaughn is in line to serve as the Cowboys' punt returner in Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Giants with KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) inactive, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The speedy rookie was last active Week 5, and he'll now have a chance to add to the 40 rushing yards, 19 receiving yards and 10 punt return yards he's amassed in five games thus far. Vaughn could be particularly busy in his special-teams role, considering the Giants will start rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito and therefore could see plenty of drives end in punts.

  • Healthy inactive Week 9

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Vaughn will be a healthy scratch for the third straight game after garnering active status for the first five contests of his career. The rookie's next chance to return to action comes in a Week 10 home matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Healthy scratch again

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie running back out of Kansas State seems to have fallen down the depth chart, as he's a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game. Vaughn has recorded 59 yards from scrimmage on 25 touches for the Cowboys this season.

  • Healthy scratch Monday

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Monday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Vaughn's playing time has been inconsistent through five games this season, with his snap share topping out at 30 percent in the Cowboys' Week 4 blowout of the Patriots. Overall, he's averaging exactly two yards on his 20 carries and has gathered in all five of his targets for 19 yards. Dallas signaled that it was making a change in its reserve RB ranks by elevating Malik Davis ahead of Monday's contest to provide backfield depth alongside Rico Dowdle behind starter Tony Pollard.

  • Workload could increase

    Vaughn carried the ball eight times for nine yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's rout of the Patriots.

    Analysis: While he didn't do much with the volume, this was still the most touches Vaughn has seen in an NFL game to date. The rookie's increased workload came as a result of an injury to Rico Dowdle (hip), so Vaughn could continue seeing a bigger role in the Dallas backfield behind starter Tony Pollard in Week 5 against the 49ers.

  • Flashes in Week 2 win

    Vaughn carried the ball three times for 16 yards and caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: With the Cowboys routing another opponent, the depth options in the backfield behind Tony Pollard saw significant volume -- Vaughn's six touches were topped by Rico Dowdle's seven, and KaVontae Turpin handled three touches as well. After a disappointing NFL debut in Week 1, this time around Vaughn showed glimpses of the explosiveness that made him a preseason darling, with his longest gain going for 13 yards. Should anything happen to Pollard, Vaughn will be a priority target on fantasy waiver…read more

  • Does little in debut

    Vaughn carried the ball six times for eight yards in Sunday's 40-0 rout of the Giants.

    Analysis: The Cowboys were up 16-0 after the first quarter thanks to their defense and special teams and never looked back, creating some garbage-time opportunities for depth players late in the game. Vaughn failed to impress in his first NFL action, though, and both Rico Dowdle (24 rushing yards on six carries) and KaVontae Turpin (14 yards and a TD on three carries) did more with their chances out of the backfield once Tony Pollard was done for the night. Vaughn made plenty of highlight reels in…read more

  • On initial 53-man roster

    Vaughn was included on the Cowboys' initial 53-man roster following roster cuts Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Behind Tony Pollard, Dallas' situation at running back has cleared up somewhat, with Vaughn and Rico Dowdle, plus fullback Hunter Luepke, making the team over Malik Davis. With Ronald Jones suspended for the first two games of the season, Vaughn -- a 2023 sixth-round pick -- will be among the options to spell Pollard in the early going. In two preseason games, the pint-sized Vaughn became a highlight-reel favorite and notched 13 carries for 64 yards and two touchdowns, while gathering in all…read more

  • Another rushing TD

    Vaughn rushed five times for 14 yards and a touchdown, brought in his only target for minus-1 yard and returned two kickoffs for 38 yards in the Cowboys' 22-14 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Vaughn didn't see any touches until the second half, with Rico Dowdle and Malik Davis both slotting in ahead of him. Although he was nowhere near as efficient on a per-carry basis as during Dallas' preseason-opening loss to the Jaguars, Vaughn still made the highlight reel with a nifty 14-yard touchdown run on which he spun away from would-be tacklers to cap off the Cowboys' first second-half drive. He's essentially a lock for a roster spot already, so he may actually see modest playing time in…read more

  • Dominates in preseason debut

    Vaughn rushed eight times for 50 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for six yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Vaughn made quite the splash when he began dominating the defense in the second half of Saturday's contest. The sixth-round pick was brought in to help a position group that lacked reliable pass catchers last year, but he showed us that he could be more than just a passing-down specialist. Vaughn just played a strong hand that could have him jumping ahead of Malik Davis on the depth chart as the top backup to Tony Pollard (ankle) come Week 1. More eyes will certainly be on Vaughn when the…read more

  • Strong start to camp

    Vaughn has impressed the coaching staff so far in camp both as a runner and a receiver, Saad Yousef of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While the diminutive running back's pass-catching skills were apparent in college, it wasn't clear how the rest of his game might translate to the NFL. Through early padded practices, Vaughn has shown an ability to use his 5-foot-6 stature to his advantage by hiding behind blockers before exploding into space. The big test will be how he's able to hold up in pass protection, but if he shows he isn't a total liability, the 2023 sixth-round pick could carve out a consistent role in the offense…read more
