The Patriots are adding some extra backfield depth for the final three weeks of the 2023 season.
New England is expected to sign former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn to its practice squad, according to multiple reports Monday.
Vaughn, a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was cut by the Bucs last Friday and passed unclaimed through waivers. He was active for just six of Tampa Bay’s 13 games before his release and hasn’t had much production as a rusher or receiver during his four-year pro career.
The 26-year-old has 465 career yards from scrimmage (384 rushing, 81 receiving) across 43 games.
