Lowry (pectoral) was released by the Vikings on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Vikings placed Lowry (pectoral) on injured reserve Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry will now miss the remainder of the regular season due to a torn pectoral suffered during Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The Vikings are now thin at defensive end as there's no one healthy on the active roster behind starters Jaquelin Roy and Jonathan Bullard.

Coach Kevin O'Connell announced on Monday that Lowry will miss the remainder of the season with a torn pec, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry will require season-ending surgery after getting hurt in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos. The veteran lineman started four of the nine games he appeared in this season, seeing action on 40 percent of the defensive snaps. It's a blow to Minnesota's defensive line depth.

Lowry has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a pectoral injury.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry sustained his injury in the first half of Sunday's matchup and will be unavailable down the stretch. Whether he'll be available against the Bears on Nov. 27 remains to be seen, but Jaquelin Roy and Khyiris Tonga could see increased playing time in Lowry's absence.

Lowry (groin) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's estimated practice.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry logged a DNP and two limited practices during Week 10 prep and was unable to suit up against New Orleans this past Sunday. The Vikings didn't hold an official practice Wednesday, but his estimated status as a full participant bodes well for his chances of returning Sunday in Denver. Jaquelin Roy and Khyiris Tonga have seen a bit more work in Lowry's absence, and both will likely see a downturn in snaps with Lowry set to return.

Lowry (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry was able to string together back-to-back limited practice sessions but was listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest. Jonathan Bullard is the most likely candidate for more defensive snaps, but Jaquelin Roy could see an uptick as well.

Lowry (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry appears to be trending toward missing his second straight game as he works through a groin injury he sustained in Week 8 at Green Bay. If he can't go, Jonathan Bullard will probably see extra work at defensive end.

Lowry (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry suffered a groin injury during Minnesota's Week 8 win over the Packers, and he was held out of practice all week, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. Jaquelin Roy is in line to get the start on the Vikings' defensive line in Lowry's stead.

Lowry (groin) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Packers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
