Giants Add Veteran Lowry to Practice Squad | NFL News

0:00On September 7th, the New York Giants are making some serious moves on their defensive line, and the latest addition is Dean Lowery. He's signing to their practice squad. Lowery is coming off an injury, a torn ACL that kept him out for all of last season, but he's got a history. He spent seven years with the Green Bay Packers, where he was a consistent part of their rotation, racking up over 200 tackles and 15. Sacks. Sacks. Before that, he played for the Minnesota Vikings in 2023, and before that, the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. While his recent stats might not jump off the page, his track record shows he can be a solid contributor. He's 32 years old now, so he's bringing veteran experience to the squad. This move comes after the Giants made some significant changes. They traded away Dexter Lawrence, earlier this off season, and brought in DJ Reader and Shelby Harris through free agency. They also drafted Bobby James and Travis, and traded for CJ Oakway. It's clear they're trying to build up that interior defensive line.

1:01Right now, Darius Alexander is the only returning player from last year's defensive tackle group. So, adding Lowery even to the practice squad gives them another body and some depth. The Giants already have a strong past rush on the edges, with guys like Brian Burns and Kavon Tivito, so shoring up the middle is a smart play. It's still up in the air if Lowery will actually play in a game for them this season, but it's a low-risk move that adds competition. The Giants are definitely trying to build a formidable front.
