Nick Herbig - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Still nursing hamstring injury Herbig (hamstring) remains sidelined at practice Monday, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

Impact Herbig was injured in the Steelers' second preseason game and is looking questionable for Pittsburgh's Week 1 opener against the Jets on Sept. 7. If Herbig is unable to gain clearance against New York, Alex Highsmith would be in for elevated snaps opposite T.J. Watt.

Posts 5.5 sacks in sophomore season Herbig registered 22 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and two recovered fumbles over 13 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact Herbig missed four contests due to a hamstring injury and logged more than half of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in just five of the games in which he played, but he was very impactful when on the field. The second-year edge finished fourth on the Steelers with 5.5 sacks and second with four forced fumbles despite fluctuating opportunities. Herbig seems like a candidate to break out in 2025 in what will be the third year of his rookie contract, though that possibility could depend on whether Pittsburgh puts him on the field more often.

Impact Herbig suffered a hamstring injury during the Steelers' Week 5 loss to the Cowboys. He missed the next three games as a result, but he looked to be trending towards a return following Pittsburgh's bye. Herbig opened this week with consecutive limited practices, but he was a DNP on Friday and will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. Even with Herbig out for Sunday's game, the Steelers will have depth at outside linebacker in Preston Smith, who was acquired from the Packers before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.
