Reports: Jaguars acquire guard Ezra Cleveland from Vikings

The Jacksonville Jaguars boosted their chances in the AFC by acquiring guard Ezra Cleveland from the Minnesota Vikings, according to multiple reports.

The Vikings will receive a 2024 sixth-round pick in return.

Cleveland should provide extra depth on the offensive line to protect quarterback Trevor Lawerence.

A four-year veteran, Cleveland started the first six games of the season for the Vikings but has missed the last two with a foot injury.

The Jaguars, at 6-2, are tied for the best record in the AFC.
