Steelers' Herbig Out for Season; Frazier to Start

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without starting center Nate Herbig for the 2024 season due to a torn rotator cuff suffered during the final day of training camp. Herbig, who was placed on the reserve/injured list, is set to be replaced by rookie Zach Frazier, a second-round pick from West Virginia. Frazier impressed during the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, showing potential as a reliable starter. Herbig had established himself as the starting center after Mason Cole was cut in February. The Steelers are now likely to seek additional depth at center via the waiver wire or free agent market. The team also made other roster moves, including signing defensive lineman Marcus Haynes and linebacker Kyahva Tezino, while terminating the contract of cornerback Anthony Averett.
