HOUSTON — The Texans have traded for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek.

The Texans sent a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Rams in exchange for Skowronek and a 2026 seventh-round selection.

Skowronek was a seventh-round pick in the 2021 draft and is entering the final year of his contract. In three years of his career, he has 575 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Skowronek’s offensive playing time dropped from 82% in 2022 to 19% last season as he finished with 66 yards on eight catches. Where he contributed the most was on special teams, having played 71 percent of the Rams’ kicks. Skowronek’s most productive season was 2022, with 39 receptions for 376 yards.

The former Notre Dame star will join a room of Texas receivers that includes four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Robert Woods.
