The San Francisco 49ers announced some related roster moves on Tuesday before beginning on-field preparations for Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks.
running back Patrick Taylor Jr. re-signed with the 49ers to the practice squad. To make room on the 16-man practice squad, the team released Ke'Shawn Vaughn.
Taylor spent the first nine weeks of the season with the 49ers but was released on Friday before their Week 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Make room for Christian McCaffrey when he returned from IR.
It's no big surprise to see Taylor back at the team facility. He was with the club throughout training camp and pre-season and performed well when called upon. He contributed primarily on special teams, but also managed 21 snaps on offense and recorded 25 rushing yards on seven carries.
Taylor will provide the 49ers with internal depth behind McCaffrey, Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo on the 53-man roster.
Vaughn also spent a lot of time with the 49ers in the preseason, but was never able to break through and take on a role. He was released before final cuts and re-signed to the practice squad. Vaughn did not play in the regular season.
The 49ers will open practice for Week 11 on Wednesday.
