The Pittsburgh Steelers have some figuring to do along the offensive line before the regular season begins. Yes, they have to figure out which of the three tackles will be starting and where to put them. But they also have to figure out who they can trust to be their backup center because, right now, they lack a viable option. At least, they seem to think so.

Nate Herbig was battling rookie Zach Frazier for the starting center job, the loser to serve as the backup. But rather than lose the competition, Herbig suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.
