The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a trade to acquire left tackle Cam Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL Network reports.

The deal provides protection for Sam Darnold’s blind slide after a season-ending injury to left tackle Christian Darrisaw. The Jaguars are parting with a left tackle who’s started seven games this season protecting Trevor Lawrence. They’ll receive unspecified draft compensation in return, according to the report.

Darrisaw suffered season-ending ACL and MCL injuries to his left knee during Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams, leaving the Vikings without one of their most important players. Robinson’s a proven veteran with eight seasons of starting experience in one of football’s key positions. He joins a 5-2 Vikings team with playoff aspirations.

The Jaguars have depth on the offensive line and could promote fourth-year veteran Walker Little to replace Robinson in the starting lineup. Little’s made 18 starts in 48 appearances since joining the NFL with the Jaguars in 2021. Amid a 2-6 season that appears to be a lost cause, the Jaguars prioritized acquiring draft capital over protecting Lawrence.
