Vikings Acquire Tackle Cam Robinson in Trade with Jaguars

In line with PFF, Robinson has been assessed with 4 sacks, three QB hits and eight hurries on his 239 move blocking snaps in 2024.

The acquisition of Robinson, who turned 29 earlier this month, is in response to shedding Christian Darrisaw to ACL and MCL accidents suffered Oct. 24 in Minnesota’s loss on the Los Angeles Rams.

In 2022, the Vikings traded to accumulate tight finish T.J. Hockenson from Detroit in Week 9 after Irv Smith, Jr., was positioned on Injured Reserve.

In every of the previous two seasons, the participant acquired contributed considerably in Week 9 wins for Minnesota.

Hockenson caught 9 passes for 70 yards on 9 targets in his 2022 Vikings debut at Washington, and Dobbs got here off the bench final 12 months (after Jaren Corridor suffered a concussion at Atlanta) and led the game-winning drive in opposition to the Falcons.

Robinson is 6-foot-6 with 35 1/2-inch arms, providing what is usually thought of prototypical dimensions for a left deal with.

The timing of Robinson’s acquisition happens proper earlier than the Vikings have a three-game swing in opposition to AFC South groups, starting with Indianapolis (4-4) on Sunday Evening Soccer and persevering with with journeys to Jacksonville (2-6) and Tennessee (1-6).

Final week, the Vikings changed Darrisaw with veteran David Quessenberry, who has crammed in at left and proper deal with for Minnesota since 2023.
