Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Nate Herbig’s injury could be season-ending.

Herbig, who suffered a shoulder injury last week in practice, did not participate in Saturday’s second Steelers preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that he was seeking a second opinion and that he’d have an update later this week.

Multiple media outlets reported on Sunday that Herbig has suffered a torn rotator cuff and that he could miss the entire 2024 season.
