The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded for Cleveland running back Carlos Hyde as they wait on starter Leonard Fournette to return from a nagging hamstring injury.

Cleveland will get a fifth-round draft pick from the Jaguars in exchange for Hyde, who has 382 yards rushing and five touchdowns in his first season with the Browns. He signed with Cleveland as a free agent in March.

Fournette was ruled out for Sunday’s game against Houston. It will be the fifth game he’s missed this season because of a strained right hamstring.

With Hyde gone, rookie Nick Chubb will be Cleveland’s primary back. He’s averaging nearly 10 yards a carry.

Browns general manager John Dorsey continues to revamp the team’s roster and add picks. In addition to their own picks in the first six rounds, the Browns acquired a third-rounder from New England, Jacksonville’s fifth-rounder, another fifth-rounder from New England and a seventh-rounder from Jacksonville.
