The Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans have reportedly agreed on a trade.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Browns are acquiring Texans tackle Cam Robinson in a deal that will see the two teams swap late-round picks.

"Trade: The Browns are trading for Texans tackle Cam Robinson for a swap of late-round picks in 2027, per sources," Fowler reported.

CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones adds that the Browns are sending a 2027 sixth-round pick and are getting back Houston's 2027 seventh-rounder.

The Browns were in the market for an offensive tackle due to the injuries the team has at the position. Dawand Jones is out for the season and Jack Conklin hasn't played since Week 1.

A former second-round pick of the Jaguars, Robinson signed with the Texans back in March but has played sparingly. He was a starter in Week 1 but didn't play a snap in Week 2 or 3 before being a healthy scratch in Week 4.

In his lone offensive action in Week 1, Robinson gave up just one pressure and no sacks in 36 pass-blocking snaps while posting Pro Football Focus grades of 57.8 in pass-blocking and 69.4 in run-blocking.

Robinson figures to at least provide some depth for Cleveland, but he could also challenge for a starting job given the Browns' precarious situation at tackle.
