Injury Return Will Have to Wait for Steelers OLB Nick Herbig
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: The injury return for outside linebacker Nick Herbig will have to wait another week.
PITTSBURGH — The injury return for Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig will have to wait at least one more week.
Herbig has been ruled out of this Sunday’s Week 10 game against the Washington Commanders after missing practice on Friday, the club announced. Herbig had been a limited participant on both Wednesday and Thursday before missing Friday’s session. It’s unclear if that represented a planned schedule or a setback for Herbig, who said earlier this week he was pushing to return against Washington.
Herbig has been out since suffering the hamstring injury on Oct. 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. In previous weeks, Jeremiah Moon, Ade Ogundeji and Eku Leota have helped replace Herbig while both he and Alex Highsmith were banged up.
But this week, the Steelers will be able to lean on just-acquired veteran Preston Smith, who came over at the trade deadline on Tuesday after being a starter for the Green Bay Packers. Smith and Moon will likely serve as the backups to Highsmith and T.J. Watt this Sunday against the Commanders.
