Herbig missed the 2024 season with a torn rotator cuff. He has 30 career starts with most of his snaps coming at right and left guard, though he has seen limited work at center. The age-30 lineman will play a depth role for the Commanders.

The report comes from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac. Herbig’s injury elevates second-round rookie Zach Frazier to the starting role. Among 39 Power Five centers with at least 800 offensive snaps last year, Frazier ranks top 12 in both pass protection (83.8 PFF pass-blocking grade) and run blocking (74.8 PFF run-blocking grade) per PFF.

Herbig was questionable with an ankle injury. Either Dan Feeney or Laurent Duvernay-Tardif will take Herbig's place at right guard. 

Herbig was originally tendered as a restricted free agent in Philly, but the Eagles ended up cutting him loose before he could sign. He was no longer in their plans following the draft. Heading into his age-28 campaign, Herbig has 17 games of starting experience. That is his lone calling card, but that is better than most fringe roster types. He could easily make the rebuilding Jets' 53-man roster.
