Rams trade offensive tackle Greg Robinson to Lions

The Los Angeles Rams finally gave up on former No. 2 overall pick Greg Robinson.

FIRST LOOK AT 2017 SEASON

The Rams traded the offensive tackle to the Detroit Lions for a 2018 sixth-round pick, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

ESPN first reported the trade. The teams later confirmed the news.

The Lions have a need at offensive tackle after starter Taylor Decker underwent shoulder surgery. Decker is expected to be out four to six months, Rapoport previously reported, which could wipe out most of the 2017 season.
