Jags deal for Browns RB Hyde

The Jaguars traded for Browns running back Carlos Hyde on Friday, adding a proven starter while Leonard Fournette progresses slowly from a strained right hamstring.

The Browns (2-3-1) will get a 2019 fifth-round draft pick from the Jaguars in exchange for Hyde, who has 382 yards rushing and five touchdowns in his first season in Cleveland. Hyde, 28, signed a three-year, $15.25 million contract in March.

The Jaguars (3-3) were willing to take on the financial commitment because leading rusher T.J. Yeldon will become a free agent at the end of this season. So will third-stringer Corey Grant, who was placed on injured reserve last week because of a foot injury. The Jaguars signed veteran Jamaal Charles to a one-year contract to replace Grant.

Fournette was ruled out for Sunday’s game against Houston. It will be the fifth game he has missed this season because of the nagging injury.

Cleveland is pleased with Hyde, but his departure clears the way for rookie Nick Chubb to be the team’s primary back. Chubb is averaging nearly 10 yards a carry. The trade deadline is Oct. 30.
