Vaughn was initially selected by the Bucs in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The 26-year-old has tallied 384 rushing yards and 81 receiving yards with three touchdowns through 43 career games. This season with Tampa, he totaled just 42 yards on 21 carries through six appearances before being released on Friday.
With starter Rhamondre Stevenson still sidelined due to a high ankle sprain, Vaughn joins Ezekiel Elliott, Kevin Harris, and JaMycal Hasty on the Patriots' running back depth chart.
New England has three games remaining on its 2023 schedule, starting with a Christmas Eve matchup vs. the Denver Broncos.
