What happened: Free agent defensive lineman Dean Lowry is completing a deal with the New York Giants on Tuesday after recovering from a physical setback that delayed the initial agreement, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and @DDuggan21. Lowry, who signed a one-year contract in May before reaching the open market, is now healthy and joining New York's practice squad.

Why it matters: The addition bolsters New York's defensive front as the club holds the third seed at 4-2-1 following Sunday's 27-21 road victory. Adding a seasoned interior defender gives the Giants experienced depth ahead of the trade deadline.

By the numbers: Lowry enters his 10th NFL season with 271 career tackles and 16.5 sacks. New York stands at 4-2-1 in the 2026 regular season on a one-game winning streak.

What to watch: Lowry will begin working with the practice unit while New York evaluates when to elevate him to the active game-day roster.
