Player: OL Nate Herbig
Stock Value: Down
Reasoning: A week after struggling with quarterback-center exchanges, Nate Herbig now adds an injury to his worries. Attempting to win the Steelers’ starting center job, he exited Wednesday’s practice with an apparent arm injury. The veteran was already losing ground to Zach Frazier, and this could be the event that marks the permanent transition.
An injury was the last thing that Nate Herbig could afford, needing to prove that he could deliver starting-quality play. While many have made too much of his lack of in-game experience at center, it was a part of the equation.
