Nate Herbig Joins Commanders Offensive-Line Group
The Washington Commanders signed offensive guard Nate Herbig on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The former undrafted free agent out of Stanford in 2019 brings 61 games (30 starts) of NFL experience with him to the Washington offensive line group. The 26-year-old has spent time with four organizations, most recently the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2023 and 2024. Herbig is likely to begin next season behind starter Nick Allegretti, though the team could look to add even more offensive line depth in next month's 2025 NFL Draft.
Pittsburgh Steelers starting center Nate Herbig (shoulder) is expected to miss "a significant amount of time." He was injured in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Bills. Unfortunately, further testing revealed a torn rotator cuff for the 26-year-old. Of course, this is another tough blow for the Steelers offense, with Russell Wilson (calf) battling an injury throughout camp and Jaylen Warren (hamstring) anticipated to miss a few weeks. It also isn't good news for guys like Justin Fields, Najee Harris, and George Pickens. At any rate, rookie center Zach Frazier, selected with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will presumably enter the starting lineup.
