Pittsburgh placed Herbig (shoulder) on the reserve/injured list Tuesday. Herbig tore his rotator cuff during practice in the lead up to Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo. He played in all 17 regular-season games with the Steelers last season (including two starts), and he had the inside track on the starting job at center. Now that Herbig is out for the year, Pittsburgh will turn to rookie second-round pick Zach Frazier to serve under center for the 2024 season.

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.

Herbig is managing an undisclosed injury and may not suit up for Saturday's preseason contest against Buffalo, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. The nature of Herbig's injury hasn't been shared, though head coach Mike Tomlin didn't seem to consider it serious, calling the issue a "training camp level injury," per Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live. Herbig is slated to work as the Steelers' starting center this season, but Zach Frazier ran with the starting offense in his place at practice Thursday.

Herbig (shoulder) was a full participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Herbig dealt with a shoulder injury this preseason that sidelined him during practice in mid-August. The 25-year-old now appears fully healthy heading into Sunday's season opener against San Francisco. Herbig signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Steelers this offseason, and he is expected to serve as the top reserve on the team's interior offensive line.
