• Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Won't play Week 5

  10/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Vaughn has seen minimal work over the first four games of the regular season. He will be a healthy inactive Sunday as the Cowboys go with Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott as their only two active running backs.

• Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Shut out of game plan Thursday

  09/28/2024 • By RotoWire

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

• Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Minimal workload Sunday

  09/23/2024 • By RotoWire

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

• Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Fives touches Sunday

  09/17/2024 • By RotoWire

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

• Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Looks good against Bolts

  08/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.
