One of the biggest storylines for the Pittsburgh Steelers in OTAs is who isn’t in attendance. Through two days, there have been a few players who haven’t been seen. That includes T.J. Watt, who is seeking a contract extension. OTAs are voluntary, so it isn’t too big of a deal that Watt isn’t there. That also allows Nick Herbig to get more first-team reps. While Herbig isn’t celebrating Watt’s absence, he is happy that he can get more work in with the starters.
“I’d love T.J. [Watt] to be here, that’s my guy,” Herbig said Wednesday via Pittsburgh’s DSEN on YouTube.
