Deuce Vaughn News
The Dallas Cowboys placed rookie running back Deuce Vaughn (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and activated defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko (knee) from Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Vaughn's move to IR is a sign that Rico Dowdle (ankle) should be OK to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Washington Commanders on Sunday after he sat out last week's win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday. The 22-year-old Vaughn was the talk of training camp over the summer, but he never really found a meaningful role with Tony Pollard and Dowdle in front of him in his rookie season. He finishes his first year in the NFL with 23 carries for 40 yards and seven catches for an additional 40 yards through the air. With Vaughn now out heading into the playoffs, Malik Davis will serve as the team's No. 3 RB.
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Deuce Vaughn could have a role in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. With usual backup Rico Dowdle (ankle) already ruled out, Vaughn could play the backup and change of pace role behind starter Tony Pollard. Vaughn hasn't been active since Week 10 and has totaled just 38 rushing yards all season, so it's hard to know what to expect, but there's a clear path to a role on offense for the rookie this week.
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Deuce Vaughn is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time in his first year in the NFL. Vaughn, unexpectedly, hasn't seen much of a role in Dallas' backfield through his first five games despite being a standout in training camp over the summer. The 5-foot-6, pint-sized running back only has 20 rushing attempts for 40 yards (2.0 yards per carry) while catching all five of his targets for 19 additional yards. Tony Pollard continues on as Dallas' lead back. Rico Dowdle is his primary backup. The Cowboys elevated Malik Davis to the active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers, which is why Vaughn will be inactive.
