The Texans are expected to sign Vaughn to a contract as of Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Vaughn is likely being signed as additional depth for the preseason. Jawhar Jordan (hip), British Brooks (hand) and Noah Whittington (ankle) are all dealing with injuries, so Vaughn has a significantly easier path to preseason snaps. The former Cowboys running back last played NFL football during the 2024 regular season, logging 17 rushes for 70 yards over seven games.
