The tough battle between Nate Herbig and Zach Frazier for the starting center spot appears to have just ended. According to the PPG’s Gerry Dulac, Herbig suffered a “significant’ shoulder injury that is expected to keep him out several weeks. That will cement Frazier’s status as the Steelers’ first-team center for the remainder of the preseason and the start of the regular season.

Nate Herbig, the starting center since the beginning of training camp, has a significant shoulder injury that will keep him out for an extended period of time, per sources. That means rookie Zach Frazier becomes the starter and will begin the regular season there.
