The New York Jets are not standing pat after losing Breece Hall to injury.
Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, they've reached a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to acquire running back James Robinson. Per the report, the Jaguars will receive in return a conditional 6th-round pick that can become a 5th-round selection.
Robinson, 24, was Jacksonville's starting running back the previous two seasons after joining the team as an undrafted rookie in 2020. He remained a regular part of the Jaguars offense this season, but ceded carries to 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne. Etienne missed his entire rookie season with a foot injury, but has thrived in 2022 while playing alongside quarterback Trevor Lawrence, his college teammate at Clemson.
Through seven games, Etienne's tallied 415 yards and a touchdown on 6.1 yards per carry in addition to 14 catches for 151 yards. He's now in line for a featured role in Jacksonville's backfield.
