Impact 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.

Dealing with torn rotator cuff 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.

Impact 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 slated to work as the Steelers' starting center this season, but Zach Frazier ran with the starting offense in his place at practice Thursday.

Agrees to terms with Steelers The Steelers and Herbig (calf) agreed to terms on a two-year, $8 million contract Tuesday, The Athletic's Jeff Howe reports.

Impact Still just 24 years old, Herbig started 11 games at right guard for the Jets last season before missing the final two games with a calf injury. Herbig has made 24 career starts with the Eagles and New York and figures to push for a starting gig with the Steelers.

IR bound Herbig (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Herbig will miss the final two games of the season with a calf injury. It appeared that he was trending toward a return after logging a pair of limited practices to begin the week, though the Jets opted to take the conservative route to have Herbig sit now that the team has been eliminated from playoff contention. Dan Feeney appears most likely to start at right guard in Herbig's absence.

Missing regular-season finale Herbig (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Despite being able to partake in both Wednesday's and Thursday's practices on a limited basis, Herbig will ultimately extend his absence streak to two games now that he's already been ruled out this weekend as a result of a calf issue. Since fellow guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (knee) has opened Week 18 prep with back-to-back DNPs, Dan Feeney appears the most suitable candidate to start at right guard versus Miami on Sunday.

Won't play Sunday Herbig (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks.

Impact Herbig was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he did close out the week with a limited practice Friday. His inability to play will leave the Jets without their starting right guard. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is a candidate to start in his spot against Seattle.

Making return this weekend Herbig (shin) is in line to play Sunday against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Herbig was listed as active for the Jets' Week 11 matchup in New England after dealing with a calf issue leading up to the contest, but New York exercised a cautious approach as he ultimately didn't record any snaps versus the Patriots. However, the 334-pounder logged limited sessions on both Wednesday and Thursday this week, and he'll likely slot back into his usual role as the team's starting right guard this weekend against Chicago.

Healthy after bye week Herbig (shin) is active Week 11 against the Patriots.

Impact Herbig only saw one limited practice session all week, but he was expected to play nonetheless following the extra rest awarded by the team's bye week. He'll likely resume his regular role as the starting right guard.
