Vikings add left tackle to replace injured Christian Darrisaw in trade with Jaguars

The Minnesota Vikings have an answer to their left tackle need.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the Vikings acquired the Jacksonville Jaguars and moved on from Cam Robinson in exchange for draft pick compensation. The Vikings get a seventh-round pick in 2026 and give the Jaguars a fifth-round pick in 2026 that could become a fourth-round selection based on playing time.

Robinson, a second-round pick out of Jacksonville in 2017, will be an unrestricted free agent this season. Over the past eight years, he has played 91 games for the Jaguars. In seven appearances this year, Robinson has allowed four sacks.

The Vikings were in desperate need of a left tackle after four-year veteran Christian Darrisaw suffered a season-ending knee injury in their 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. Backup left tackle David Quessenberry struggled after Darrisaw went out, as quarterback Sam Darnold was sacked twice in the second half, including a game-sealing safety in crunch time.

Minnesota and Jacksonville will collide at EverBank Stadium in Week 10.
