On April 28th, the Pittsburgh Steelers won't be bringing back veteran defensive lineman Dean Lowry for the 2026 season. Right after the draft wrapped up, reports said they had a deal in place to resign the 31-year-old, who set out all of last year with a torn. ACL from training camp, but now that's off the table. Lowry decided he needs more time to get back into playing shape. He got fully clear from the injury, but skipped the physical with Pittsburgh. This comes straight from league insider Ian Rappaport, who dropped the update late last week. Lowry first joined the Steelers on a two-year deal before the 2024 season, playing in 12 games with one stack and five tackles over. About 159 snaps. He would have been near the bottom of the depth chart anyway, fighting for a roster spot. Pittsburgh's interior defensive line looks stacked without him. Cam Hayward's locked in with an $18 million extension after his all pro year. First rounder Derrick Harman impressed as a rookie with three sacks in 12 games, and new Sinese Sebastian Joseph Day brings run-stopping muscle on.

An $11 million pack. Guys like Yaya Black, Asezi Otomewel, on a $1.75 million resigning, and a bunch of young depth pieces keep the rotation deep and versatile. The Steelers' role strong up front heading into training camp. That's your update from NFL News Today, Power by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
