The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ offensive line was dealt a significant blow after starting center Nate Herbig was placed on injured reserve due to a torn rotator cuff.
Herbig, 26, was coming off a strong 2023 season in which he allowed just one sack and 10 quarterback pressures in 156 snaps. He was set to make $4 million this season and had spent much of training camp, as well as the Steelers’ first two preseason games as the starting center.
The Steelers will now turn to second-round rookie Zach Frazier to anchor the starting offensive line.
Frazier, 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds, was a standout along West Virginia’s offensive line and one of the premier interior line prospects in this year’s draft class.
