The New York Jets have something good going and they know it.
On Monday, the AFC East team with a four-game winning streak learned it lost rookie RB Breece Hall to a torn ACL.
Joe Douglas didn’t wait long to fill that gap.
Gang Green is acquiring James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Ian Rapoport.

The Jaguars will get draft pick compensation in return. It begins as a sixth-rounder but could become a fifth-round pick depending on Robinson’s usage with the Jets.

Robinson rushed for 1,070 yards as an undrafted free-agent rookie in 2020.
He dipped to 767 yards in 14 games last season.
In 2022, he rushed for 340 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also has caught 9 passes.
In Sunday’s loss to the Giants, Robinson played 12 offensive snaps and had no touches for the first time in his NFL career.
Travis Etienne’s play for the Jaguars made Robinson expendable.
