Who will serve as the Steelers’ primary backup center following Nate Herbig’s injury?
The Steelers lost their backup center this past week, placing Nate Herbig on the Reserve/Injured List. While he ran as the first-team center throughout the offseason, rookie Zach Frazier appeared on track to overtake him. Herbig’s shoulder injury helped to cement just that, but now the Steelers don’t have a backup center.
At least, they don’t have one clearly established option, meaning they will have to sort through the contenders. Essentially, there are three, including Ryan McCollum, who has been on the practice squad the past couple years.
