Vaughters (knee) was absent from Wednesday's injury report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Vaughters has only accumulated 19 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his limited role with the defense this season, so even though he's healthy, his addition to the lineup won't affect things much from an IDP perspective.
