Dean Lowry Returns to Steelers, Boosts D-Line

0:00On April 26, Pittsburgh Steelers just brought back veteran defensive lineman Dean Lowry on a new deal. We're from Ian Rappaport. Lowry suited up for the Steelers in 2024, playing 12 games after a one-year stop with the Minnesota Vikings in 2023. Last summer, he tore his ACL in training camp and sat out the whole 2025 season. That injury kept him off the field, but now he's healthy and rejoining the squad that knows him well. Folks see this as a smart move to bolster the D-line with a familiar face. Lowry brings solid career numbers, like 271 tackles, 16.5 sacks, and 23 forced fumbles. Plus, there's history from his draft days in Green Bay under Mike McCarthy back in 2016. Steelers fans should feel good about this depth addition, heading into the new campaign.
