Herbig has been diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff that could force him to sit out for the entire 2024 season, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Herbig sustained the injury in the week leading up to the Steelers' second preseason game against the Bills on Saturday. Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters Sunday that Herbig will receive a second opinion on the injury, but it will keep the 26-year-old center out of action for multiple weeks. Rookie second-rounder Zach Frazier is slated to step into the starting center job while Herbig is sidelined.
