Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig will make his 2025 debut in tonight’s preseason contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed the news in a pre-game interview with Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews.
“Nick Herbig, according to Coach Tomlin, is gonna play some tonight,” Matthew said on 102.5 DVE as part of the team’s pre-game coverage.
It confirms what Tomlin hinted at during his Thursday press conference with the media. While most veterans and starters who sat in the opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars will remain status quo, Herbig will get the nod and play at least a handful of snaps for the team’s only preseason home game.
