is expected to be sidelined for a significant amount of time with a torn rotator cuff, a source confirmed to ESPN, paving the way for the team to start rookie center
Herbig, an interior offensive lineman, worked primarily at center with the first-team line throughout training camp before suffering the injury last week. Coach Mike Tomlin acknowledged Herbig's injury following the Steelers' preseason loss to theFrazier, who played in college for West Virginia, was selected in the second round of April's draft and started in Herbig's place against the Bills.
"Nate's got an injury that's being continually evaluated," Tomlin said when asked about Herbig's status postgame."I think he's getting a second opinion. I want to wait to that. I'll give you guys some information probably the next time we come together, but I was largely satisfied with the work that I saw from Zach.
"Zach's a hard worker," Fields said Thursday."He's humble, doesn't say much, but boy, he works. So glad to have him on the o-line and I mean, he's a strong, strong boy. "He's smart too, so it's great to see a rookie that young, that smart controlling where the protections are going. I'll flip a protection, and he already had done it before I'll even do it sometimes. So just seeing that from him, knowing how smart he is, is definitely a good thing to see."
