Nick Herbig led the Pittsburgh Steelers’ outside linebackers in snaps with 50 against the Cleveland Browns despite the return of Alex Highsmith. With Highsmith back, the Steelers were able to deploy three outside linebackers on the field at the same time. And Mike Tomlin said any challenges that come with finding enough snaps for Herbig with T.J. Watt and Highsmith the starters at OLB are ones that he will gladly tackle.
“Having too many good players and trying to figure out how to distribute reps among capable guys is a good problem. I welcome that problem,” Tomlin said Monday during his weekly press conference via the team’s YouTube channel.
