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'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.
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.
With Lowry off the field for the rest of Sunday's game, the Vikings will turn to Khyiris Tonga and Jaquelin Roy to bolster the defensive front.
Lowry left the game without recording a stat. In his absence, Jaquelin Roy and Khyiris Tonga are candidates to receive increased defensive snaps for as long as Lowry remains off the field.
