Coach Mike Tomlin stated, "Nate's got an injury that's being continually evaluated. I think he's getting a second opinion. I want to wait to that." This highlights the uncertainty surrounding Herbig's condition and the cautious approach the team is taking.
After beginning training camp as the starter, Herbig's injury opens the door for rookie center Zach Frazier, who, according to Tomlin, performed satisfactorily during the preseason.
Herbig's absence depletes the Steelers' interior depth, as he was the team's top reserve last season, which puts additional pressure on the younger linemen.
Frazier was drafted for the future, but with Herbig sidelined, he must step up earlier than expected, demonstrating the unpredictable nature of injuries in football.
