Steelers Get Promising Injury News on OLB Nick Herbig
Outside linebacker Nick Herbig returned to practice in a limited capacity for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday, as the club appears to be rounding into health coming out of its bye week.
Herbig had been only a minor participant in Monday’s bonus practice, but said after practice on Monday he feels he has a chance to play this Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
Herbig was upgraded to a limited participant in Wednesday’s session, and was doing individual drills alongside newcomer Preston Smith at outside linebacker.
Herbig has been out since suffering a right hamstring injury in the Steelers’ loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 6.
Herbig has good reason to want to get back on the field and continue his torrid pass-rushing pace. Herbig has 2.5 sacks and three tackles for loss in 4 1/2 games before his injury. He had just three sacks in his entire 17-game rookie season last year.
