Giants Set to Add Defensive Tackle Dean Lowry to Practice Squad

The New York Giants are reportedly moving forward with a signing of veteran defensive tackle Dean Lowry, who has been associated with the team for several weeks. Dan Duggan from The Athletic has indicated that Lowry will be joining the Giants’ practice squad, a move confirmed by a source within the organization.

Lowry, aged 32, boasts a substantial NFL career with 132 regular-season appearances and 85 starts across nine years. Selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, he played seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers and has also had stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers. Last season was challenging for Lowry, as he spent time on injured reserve with the Steelers after suffering an ACL tear during training camp. The Giants have been actively seeking veteran defensive tackle assistance this season, considering their current lineup includes less experienced players Darius Alexander, Bobby Jamison-Travis, and C.J. Okoye, backing up D.J. Reader and Shelby Harris.
