The Houston Texans have officially signed former Denver Broncos running back Deuce Vaughn, as announced by the team on Monday.
Vaughn, who stands at 5 feet 5 inches and weighs 185 pounds, spent the previous season on the Broncos' practice squad after joining it in September. He re-signed with Denver on a reserve/future contract in January but was released in May. Following his departure from the Broncos, Vaughn played for the UFL's Orlando Storm before returning to the NFL with the Texans.
In a corresponding move, the Texans waived former Broncos wide receiver Juwann Winfree to create space for Vaughn on the roster. Additionally, the Texans conducted workouts with ex-Denver receiver Josh Reynolds and running back Blake Watson, according to the NFL's transaction wire.
Currently, four other former Broncos practice squad players remain free agents after their contracts expired in February: quarterback Ben DiNucci, tight ends Marcedes Lewis and Patrick Murtagh, and defensive back Delarrin Turner-Yell.
