The New York Jets moved quickly after losing star rookie running back Breece Hall for the season, acquiring James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a trade Monday, per multiple outlets.

The Jets gave up a 2023 conditional sixth-round draft pick that could move up to a fifth-round pick if Robinson reaches 600 yards rushing, the NFL Network and ESPN reported.

Hall, who had 80 carries for 463 yards rushing and five touchdowns this season as a rookie, suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos.

Robinson, who has 81 carries for 340 yards and three scores this season, did not play Sunday in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the New York Giants. Travis Etienne, who recently supplanted Robinson as the Jags' starting running back, rushed for 114 yards and a score in Week 7.

Robinson rushed for 1,070 yards and seven touchdowns in his rookie season in 2020. Now he joins a 5-2 Jets team that is one of the league's biggest surprises and figures to give him a large role for the remainder of the 2022 campaign.
