The Vikings have found their replacement for Christian Darrisaw.
With Darrisaw out for the season after tearing his ACL and MCL in Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota has agreed to a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars to acquire left tackle Cam Robinson , according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The trade includes draft pick compensation, per Rapoport, but exact details weren't immediately clear.
Rarely does a starting LT quality player become available mid-season. But that’s the case with Cam Robinson.

91 starts. Franchise tagged player. An impressive answer from the #Vikings. https://t.co/QrC72XloBC
In Robinson, the Vikings fill the void of Darrisaw with a proven starter. Robinson, 6-foot-6 and 335 pounds, is in the final year of his deal with the Jaguars and didn't play in their last game despite clearing concussion protocol. But Robinson has been solid this season, receiving a 69.4 grade from Pro Football Focus, on pace to be the best mark of his career.
Robinson grades better in pass blocking (72.2) than run blocking (64.6). In 239 pass-blocking snaps, Robinson has given up 15 pressures, eight hurries and four sacks. Last season, Robinson posted the best pass-blocking grade of his career at 78.8, per PFF, and he graded particularly well pass blocking in the three games before suffering the concussion.
