Nate Herbig is out for a significant amount of time, while Zach Frazier will assume the starting role.
Updated: Aug. 17, 2024, 5:54 p.m.Pittsburgh Steelers guard Nate Herbig during training camp on Aug. 11, 2024. Kylee Surike | Special to PennLivePittsburgh Steelers starting center Nate Herbig has suffered a significant shoulder injury that will keep him out for an extended period of time, according toHerbig suffered the injury on Wednesday during the team’s last day of training camp. He was checked out by trainers off to the side and left practice shortly after that.
Herbig could be in danger of missing the start of the season, which would allow the Steelers to place him on injured reserve on cut-down day. If that should happen, the Steelers do not need to create a roster spot for Herbig on their initial 53-man roster. Instead, they can designate Herbig to return at some point during the season.
Pittsburgh will have to answer the question of who will back up Frazier. While many players have center experience, Spencer Anderson and Mason McCormick seem the likeliest options to slot into that role internally. Ryan McCollum could play that role, too. If the Steelers do not like those options, there are some veterans on the outside. Mason Cole and Scott Quessenberry are two names that the Steelers could have interest in to fill that void.
