Zach Frazier Named Starting Center for Steelers

Zach Frazier is set to make his first start as the Pittsburgh Steelers' center in the second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, following Nate Herbig's injury. Frazier, a second-round draft pick from West Virginia, has impressed in practice and during the preseason opener, where he allowed no pressures on 19 pass-blocking snaps. His work ethic and intelligence have garnered praise from teammates, including quarterback Justin Fields, who noted Frazier's ability to manage protections effectively. Head coach Mike Tomlin has expressed confidence in Frazier's readiness, highlighting the importance of in-game experience. The Steelers are looking for Frazier to build upon his solid debut against the Houston Texans as they continue their preseason preparations. The team's next matchup will take place at Acrisure Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
