The New York Giants sign veteran defensive tackle Dean Lowry
Summary

General manager Joe Schoen has added veteran defensive tackle Dean Lowry to the New York Giants practice squad. The 32-year-old enters his 10th NFL season following stints with the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and Pittsburgh Steelers. Lowry has appeared in 132 regular-season games throughout his career, recording 16.5 sacks and 271 tackles. The move follows Schoen's recent commitment to bolstering the team's defensive line depth. Last season, Lowry spent time on injured reserve while with the Steelers due to a torn ACL before being released during the final roster cutdown. This acquisition serves as an ongoing effort by the front office to improve the defensive unit's performance against the run.
