Won't play vs. Jets
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Herbig (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Jets, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herbig will miss his second consecutive outing as he tends to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Cowboys. In his absence, Jeremiah Moon figures to continue to see an uptick in reps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for starting role
Herbig will serve as the Steelers' starting outside linebacker with Alex Highsmith sidelined by a groin injury, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Highsmith aggravated an injury that he originally suffered during training camp and is expected to face a multi-week absence. That leaves Herbig to step into a near full-time role for only the second time in his career heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Colts. The 2023 fourth-round pick has shown the ability to be an explosive pass rusher as a part-time player by tallying five sacks in only 231 defensive snaps during his career.
