Steelers Work Out Nate Herbig After Max Scharping Lands on IR
The tryout ended without a deal, underscoring Pittsburgh’s thin interior depth.
Overview
- Pittsburgh hosted veteran interior lineman Nate Herbig for a workout on Tuesday, per the league transactions wire and team beat reports.
- The roster look comes after backup guard Max Scharping was placed on injured reserve last week, leaving only Spencer Anderson as a gameday reserve at guard.
- Herbig previously spent 2023–24 with the Steelers, appearing in all 17 games with two starts in 2023 before a 2024 injury sidelined him.
- He signed with Washington in 2025 and retired in July, and he has since resumed exploring NFL opportunities.
- Herbig has experience at both guard spots and center, making him a logical depth option even though no agreement followed Tuesday’s visit.
