Herbig will start Sunday's game against the Bengals in place of the injured Alex Highsmith (ankle), Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports. Herbig also started in place of Highsmith the last two weeks, playing on 81 percent and 76 percent of the defensive snaps in those games, respectively. The 2023 fourth-round pick has 15 tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in seven games and on 223 defensive snaps this season.

Herbig (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. The Wisconsin product has been sidelined for the Steelers' last four games after sustaining a hamstring injury in the team's Week 5 win over the Cowboys. However, Wednesday's full practice suggests Herbig has moved past the issue and will return for Pittsburgh's Week 11 divisional matchup against the Ravens. He's expected to serve as a rotational edge rusher Sunday.

Herbig (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 11 versus Baltimore, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Herbig has been sidelined for Pittsburgh's last four games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5 versus Dallas, but it now looks like he could return to action as soon as Sunday. A clearer picture of his status will come with the Steelers' first official practice report of the week Wednesday.

Herbig (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Herbig suffered a hamstring injury during the Steelers' Week 5 loss to the Cowboys. He missed the next three games as a result, but he looked to be trending towards a return following Pittsburgh's bye. Herbig opened this week with consecutive limited practices, but he was a DNP on Friday and will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. Even with Herbig out for Sunday's game, the Steelers will have depth at outside linebacker in Preston Smith, who was acquired from the Packers before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Herbig (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Giants, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports. Herbig will miss a third straight game due to his lingering hamstring injury. The Steelers will benefit from a bye after Monday's game against New York, meaning Herbig will have extra time to rest before working to retake the field Week 10 on the road at Washington.
