Loewen has been waived by the Saints, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen was let go to make room on the team's 90-man roster for the signing of Ty Montgomery. The 27-year-old Loewen spent the majority of 2019 on New Orleans' practice squad. He will now try to find a new opportunity.

Loewen was released by New Orleans on Tuesday, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen finished Monday's 30-28 win over Houston with a pair of solo tackles, helping the Saints start the 2019 season off on the right foot. But with David Onyemata (suspension) returning to the fold, Loewen was expendable, so the team opted to waive the 26-year-old to make room for Onyemata's return. Loewen played 11 snaps in Monday's game.

The Saints activated Loewen to the active roster Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen originally signed with the Saints' practice squad after being let go by Detroit on Aug. 30. The 26-year-old was able to join the active roster after the Saints released veteran defensive end Wes Horton. Loewen will provide depth to New Orleans' defensive front in their season opener against Houston on Monday night.

Loewen signed with the Saints practice squad, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen didn't have staying power with the Lions after latching on with them at the end of 2018, and he's back in New Orleans on the practice squad. He appeared in three contests in his first two NFL seasons -- both with the Saints.

Loewen re-signed with the Lions on Monday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen was initially signed for depth by Detroit in late December, but did not play a single snap with the team. The 25-year-old will remain with the Lions heading into the offseason, and work to carve out a reserve role along the defensive line.

Loewen didn't see the field during Detroit's season finale against Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen was signed for depth at a time Detroit was in need of depth along the defensive line, but he was never needed to take the field. The three-year vet will be a restricted free agent at the end of the league year.

Loewen signed a contract with the Lions on Friday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen was waived by the Saints on Dec. 27, and finds a home in Detroit just one day later. His spot on the 53-man roster comes following the placement of A'Shawn Robinson (knee) on injured reserve. Expect Loewen to serve a depth role during Sunday's season-finale tilt against the Packers.

Loewen was waived by the Saints on Thursday, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen only suited up one game with the Saints this season, during Week 2, in which he did not log a defensive statistic. The 25-year-old will search for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Loewen (neck) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen has not played a snap since Week 2, but will nonetheless suit up for New Orleans' game against Minnesota in Week 9. The depth defensive end appears to have fully recovered from a lingering neck injury, but if Loewen does see the field it will likely be on special teams.

Loewen (neck) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Loewen is nursing a neck injury, and remains without a timeline for his recovery. The depth defensive end's absence is unlikely to affect New Orleans' defense, but could cause additional special teams snaps to me made available.
