• Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Reverts to practice squad

  12/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

• 49ers' Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Elevated to active roster

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  The 49ers elevated Vaughn from the practice squad Saturday 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.

  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 2020 third-round pick from Vanderbilt could be elevated again for the 49ers' Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins to provide depth at running back with Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) both sidelined for the remainder of the year.

• 49ers' Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Back on active roster

  12/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

• Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Returns to practice squad

  Vaughn reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday. After he was signed to the 49ers' practice squad last week, Vaughn was elevated for Sunday's win over the Bears, finishing with two carries for four yards while playing three snaps on offense. Lead back Isaac Guerendo sprained his foot in the win and could face an uphill battle to gain clearance for Thursday's game against the Rams, likely setting up Vaughn to be elevated from the practice squad for another week. Assuming that's the case, Vaughn would likely serve as the top backup to Patrick Taylor, who carried seven times in the Week 14 win.
