HOUSTON — The Texans have traded for former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek, a source confirmed. The Texans and Rams are doing a sixth- and seventh-round pick swap in 2026.
Skowronek was a seventh-round pick in the 2021 draft and is entering the last year of his contract. Through three years of his career, he has 575 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Skowronek’s offensive playing time dwindled 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% of the Rams’ kicking plays. Skowronek’s most productive season was 2022 when he had 39 receptions for 376 yards.
The former Notre Dame standout will join a Texans receivers room featuring four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Robert Woods.
NFL Network was first to report the deal.
