The New York Giants are signing defensive tackle Dean Lowry to the practice squad. Interior line depth has been a lingering need, and Lowry could help address it if he is eventually elevated to the active roster.
Lowry joins PJ Mustipher and Josh Tupou as the other defensive linemen on the practice squad.
The 32-year-old will bring a veteran presence after appearing in 132 NFL games across stints with three teams.
After trading Dexter Lawrence this offseason, free-agent additions Shelby Harris and D.J. Reader have fared well for the Giants. Depth remains a real issue along the interior defensive line, however, particularly after Chauncey Golston’s injury less than a week ago. The Giants will continue to explore options to add depth.
