Vaughan could only receive a few throwdowns after his accident |
The fall forced Vaughan to sit out most of Tuesday's practice at the Gros Islet ground as he received treatment from physio Dean Conway on his right knee.
It is the same knee that kept him out of action for most of last year following surgery.
However, England insisted Vaughan's absence was merely precautionary.
The 32-year-old was at least able to field a handful of throwdowns, though he was unable to bat in the nets.

If Vaughan was to miss a game, it would put England in an awkward situation following their decision to strip Andrew Flintoff of the vice-captaincy.
The team have not yet named another vice-captain after reprimanding the 29-year-old all-rounder for a late-night drinking session that ended with him needing to be rescued from a pedalo in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The leading candidates would be Andrew Strauss and Paul Collingwood, although at present the only way for Strauss to get back into the team would be as a result of an injury.
Collingwood, meanwhile, has already declared an interest.
In his BBC column, he wrote: "If a deputy is needed for Michael Vaughan, I think the management will look at the team and make a decision from there.
"I do not have a lot of captaincy experience in my professional career but the vice-captaincy is an important role and of course I would like to be given that responsibility."
