Overview
- ESPN first reported Monday that the Giants plan to sign Dean Lowry to their practice squad, a move that has been carried by Yahoo Sports and NBC Sports.
- Once on the practice squad Lowry would be eligible to be one of the two players the Giants can elevate to the active roster on a game day, offering short-term depth for Week 1.
- Lowry spent the bulk of his career with Green Bay before stops in Minnesota and Pittsburgh and would join a defensive line the Giants rebuilt this offseason.
- He missed the 2025 season after tearing an ACL and was released in final roster cuts this summer, which reduces certainty about his immediate on-field role.
- Across 132 career games Lowry has 85 starts, 271 tackles and 16.5 sacks, giving the Giants veteran experience as they continue to adjust defensive-tackle depth.
