Sources: Vikes fill LT void, deal for Jags' Robinson

EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings acquired Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson on Tuesday, sources told ESPN, moving swiftly and aggressively to replace injured incumbent Christian Darrisaw.

In addition to Robinson, the Vikings receive a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick that can go away based on playing time, while the Jaguars receive a conditional 2026 fifth-round selection that can become a fourth-rounder based on playing time, according to sources.

Robinson, 29, is in the final year of a contract that pays him $16.25 million this season.

Darrisaw suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee during the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday. He signed a four-year contract extension in August and is expected to return to full health next season.

That makes Robinson a likely short-term addition for the remainder of a season in which the Vikings have gotten off to a surprising 5-2 start.

Veteran backup David Quessenberry replaced Darrisaw against the Rams, but Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said afterward that the team would consider multiple options for the position over the final 10 games.

Robinson started the Jaguars' first seven games but was benched for fourth-year player Walker Little on Sunday against Green Bay. That was the first time in his career he had been active for a game and not played.

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Monday it was undecided if Little would be the starter going forward.

Robinson, who has a career pass block win rate of 81.7%, played in nine games in 2023, missing the first four while suspended for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. He missed four other games while on injured reserve with a knee injury.

That was the third consecutive season in which Robinson missed games because of injury. He has played just one full season (2020) since the Jaguars drafted him 34th overall in 2017, and has missed 32 games in his career because of injury, suspension or benching.

It was not immediately clear whether Robinson could be ready in time to play in the Vikings' next game Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts.

Darrisaw, 25, has been the Vikings' starting left tackle since they made him the No. 23 pick of the 2021 draft. He has battled a series of injuries but performed well enough to merit the new contract, which is worth up to $113 million.

The injury occurred while Darrisaw was blocking with 35 seconds remaining in the first half Thursday. Rams safety Jaylen McCollough fell into the side of his left knee, and team medical officials helped him walk directly to the locker room as the Vikings finished out the half.

ESPN's Michael DiRocco contributed to this report.
