PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers placed center Nate Herbig on the Injured/Reserve List on Tuesday afternoon, ending the offensive lineman's season after he tore his rotator cuff during training camp.
With Herbig on IR, the team is expected to start rookie center Zach Frazier, a second-round pick, at center in Week 1. Frazier played 75% of snaps in the team's second preseason game.
"Man, attrition is a component of it," coach Mike Tomlin said of losing Herbig. "It sucks for Herbig."
The Steelers previously started a rookie at center with Kendrick Green in 2021, though he was replaced by veteran Mason Cole the following season.
