Nate Herbig: Breaking News
The Commanders placed Herbig on the reserve/retired list Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports. Herbig ended last season on IR due to a torn rotator cuff but appeared healthy and ready to contribute as a reserve interior offensive lineman for Washington, but he'll instead hang up the cleats. The 27-year-old started 30 of his 61 career appearances in the NFL.
The Commanders signed Herbig on Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Herbig has returned to health after a torn rotator cuff forced him to miss all of Pittsburgh's 2024 season, and he now joins Washington as a veteran option at guard. He'll assist the interior of the Commanders' offensive line in keeping Jayden Daniels, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, upright during the upcoming season.
