Sources - Vikings acquire LT Cam Robinson in trade with Jaguars - ESPN
EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings acquired Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson on Tuesday, sources told ESPN, adding a potential replacement for 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.

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.
Another option was believed to be moving left guard Blake Brandel to left tackle, with veteran Dalton Risner filling in at left guard. Brandel last played left tackle in 2022, and when asked about the possibility Monday, said: «We're still figuring everything out.»
