Who Should I Start? Deuce Vaughn or Jordan Mims

Thursday, August 7, 7:52 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Deuce Vaughn (hamstring) was able to practice with the rest of the team at training camp on Thursday, according to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News. It's good news for a beat-up Dallas backfield, as both Miles Sanders (knee) and rookie Jaydon Blue (ankle) are also on the injury report. The 23-year-old Vaughn should get quite a bit of run in the preseason opener this Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams as he battles for a depth role in 2025. He has the added bonus of being the only member of the current RB room that played for the team last year, but if everyone is healthy, Vaughn is likely to be the RB4, at best, behind Javonte Williams, Sanders and Blue. The 5-foot-6, 176-pounder has barely been involved in his first two NFL seasons, carrying the rock only 40 times for 110 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and no touchdowns.

The Tennessee Titans agreed on an undisclosed two-year deal with free-agent running back Jordan Mims on Thursday, a source told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The former Fresno State standout spent his first two seasons in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints and had 20 rushing attempts last season for 70 rushing yards while also catching 12 of 18 targets for 71 yards through the air in 11 games (zero starts). The 26-year-old went undrafted out of Fresno State before latching on with the Saints in 2023. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are the unquestioned top two backs for the Titans going into the 2025 campaign, so Mims will be competing for a depth role in training camp this summer with Julius Chestnut, rookie Kalel Mullings and Tyrion Davis-Price.
