Pittsburgh Steelers center Nate Herbig is not practicing for Thursday’s joint session against the Buffalo Bills, paving the way for rookie Zach Frazier to soak up first-team reps throughout the day.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko tweeted the news as the Steelers-Bills practice is about to get going.
Nate Herbig not in uniform today for the Steelers. Big day for Zach Frazier at center.

As we noted yesterday, Herbig left late in practice. He was initially pulled aside as his fellow offensive linemen went through a run blocking drill.
