2024 Fantasy Outlook
Herbig appeared in all 17 games for the Steelers in 2023 and is competing to serve as the team's starting center in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Heads to IR
Pittsburgh placed Herbig (shoulder) on the reserve/injured list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
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 on injured reserve, Pittsburgh will turn to rookie second-round pick Zach Frazier to serve under center for the 2024 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could miss season
Herbig has a torn rotator cuff that could cost him the entire 2024 season, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran had been expected to begin the season at center for the Steelers, but his loss leaves a big hole in the team's offensive line. 2024 second-round pick Zach Frazier will now likely start at center, and while he might have taken over the job at some point this year anyway, he'll now be pushed into the role ahead of schedule unless Pittsburgh looks outside the organization for reinforcements.
