Vikings Trade Guard Ed Ingram to Texans for 2026 Sixth-Round Pick

The Texans acquire the struggling offensive lineman as both teams continue to reshape their rosters and offensive lines.

The Minnesota Vikings traded guard Ed Ingram to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.
Ingram, a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, started 41 games for the Vikings but struggled in pass protection and was benched in 2024.
The trade helps the Vikings clear $3.4 million in salary cap space for 2025, following their recent signings of interior linemen Ryan Kelly and Will Fries.
The Texans, who have been overhauling their offensive line, recently traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil and guard Kenyon Green while signing free agent guard Laken Tomlinson.
Ingram is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is expected to compete for a starting role or provide depth for Houston.
