Steelers' Dean Lowry: Placed on PUP list
Rotowire
The Steelers placed Lowry (pectoral) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Lowry was released by the Vikings on March 12 after appearing in just nine regular-season games before sustaining a torn pectoral muscle injury in 2023. He signed with the Steelers on March 25 to provide depth on the defensive line, but the 2016 fourth-round pick out of Northwestern will begin training camp on the sidelines. Lowry's most impactful season came in 2021 with the Packers, when he registered 42 tackles (24 solo), including a career-high 5.0 sacks, along with four passes defended and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.
Lowry (pectoral) signed a contract with the Steelers on Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Lowry played nine games for the Vikings last season after spending the first seven years of his career with the Packers. The Northwestern product had 14 tackles last season while not recording a sack for the first time since 2019.

Vikings' Dean Lowry: Gets let go
Rotowire
Lowry (pectoral) was released by the Vikings on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Lowry joined Minnesota on a two-year deal last spring and was unable to make an impact with his new team. The Northwestern product appeared in nine games before suffering a torn pectoral muscle, which ended his season early, and recorded 14 combined tackles and a pass defended.
The Vikings placed Lowry (pectoral) on injured reserve Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Lowry will now miss the remainder of the regular season due to a torn pectoral suffered during Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The Vikings are now thin at defensive end, as there's currently no healthy player at the position behind starters Jaquelin Roy and Jonathan Bullard.

Rotowire
Coach Kevin O'Connell announced on Monday that Lowry will miss the remainder of the season with a torn pec, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Lowry will require season-ending surgery after getting hurt in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos. The veteran lineman started four of the nine games he appeared in this season, seeing action on 40 percent of the defensive snaps. It's a blow to Minnesota's defensive line depth.

Vikings' Dean Lowry: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Lowry has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a pectoral injury.
Lowry sustained his injury in the first half of Sunday's matchup and will be unavailable down the stretch. Whether he'll be available against the Bears on Nov. 27 remains to be seen, but Jaquelin Roy and Khyiris Tonga could see increased playing time in Lowry's absence.
Lowry (groin) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's estimated practice.
Lowry logged a DNP and two limited practices during Week 10 prep and was unable to suit up against New Orleans this past Sunday. The Vikings didn't hold an official practice Wednesday, but his estimated status as a full participant bodes well for his chances of returning Sunday in Denver. Jaquelin Roy and Khyiris Tonga have seen a bit more work in Lowry's absence, and both will likely see a downturn in snaps with Lowry set to return.

Vikings' Dean Lowry: Doubtful for Sunday vs. Saints
Rotowire
Lowry (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus New Orleans.
Lowry appears to be trending toward missing his second straight game as he works through a groin injury he sustained in Week 8 at Green Bay. If he can't go, Jonathan Bullard will probably see extra work at defensive end.
