Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected back against Ravens
Herbig is expected to return from a four-game absence to face the Ravens on Sunday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herbig has been sidelined by a hamstring injury, though he managed to practice twice in a limited fashion ahead of the Steelers' Week 10 matchup against the Commanders. His expected return comes at a good time for the Pittsburgh defense, as Alex Highsmith has been ruled out for the divisional tilt against Baltimore with an ankle injury. Herbig filled in as a starter earlier in the season in the absence of Highsmith, though he may take on a lesser role this time around due to the team's acquisition of Preston Smith.
