Lowry's Steelers Deal on Hold, Defensive Front Gap

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where football meets AI. Dean Lowry, the defensive lineman, isn't heading back to the Pittsburgh Steelers anytime soon. Reports last weekend had everyone thinking he was about to resign, but now that's off the table for the moment. He's still recovering from that torn ACL that wiped out his entire last season. Lowry chose to skip the physical, with the team, and take extra time to get his body game ready. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads over this twist, especially since Lowry brought solid experience to the line. He notched five tackles, and one sack across 12 games for the Steelers in 2024, after nine games with the Vikings in 20, 23 and 111 games over seven seasons with the Packers. Ian Rappaport dropped the update from NFL Media, confirming the deals on hold while Lowry focuses on rehab, no rush from his side, and the Steelers move on without him for now. This leaves a gap in their defensive front, but the odd season shuffle keeps rolling.
