Impact Herbig missed four regular-season games with a hamstring injury last season. A fourth-round pick in the 2023 Draft, Herbig recorded 22 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles in 2024. Herbig and Alex Highsmith (groin) are expected to key the Steelers' pass rush opposite T.J. Watt this season.

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.

Expects to play vs. Ravens Herbig (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 11 versus Baltimore, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Herbig has been sidelined for Pittsburgh's last four games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5 versus Dallas, but it now looks like he could return to action as soon as Sunday. A clearer picture of his status will come with the Steelers' first official practice report of the week Wednesday.
NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out for Week 10 Herbig (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
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.

Misses practice Thursday Herbig (hamstring) did not participate at the Steelers' practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.
Impact Herbig was already viewed as unlikely to play in Week 8 versus the Giants and Thursday's absence seems to suggest that he won't be able to go. With the Steelers playing on Monday Night Football, Herbig will have an additional day to return to the practice field and flip the script on the current expectations.
OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Week 8 Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Herbig (hamstring) will not play Monday versus the Giants, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Herbig will miss a third straight game as he continues working his way back from a hamstring issue initially sustained Week 5 versus the Cowboys. As long as Herbig remains sidelined, Jeremiah Moon will be in position to continue handling an expanded role on defense.
OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
