The Steelers wrapped up their preparation for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans with their final practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Friday.
Guard James Daniels continued to be sidelined with a groin injury and has been ruled out. With Daniels dealing with the injury, guard Nate Herbig is ready to step in on Sunday if his number is called.
"I approach every week like I am going to play," said Herbig. "Always having that mentality, being ready when my number is called. That is how I have been approaching it since I got in the league. I am going to keep approaching it like that.
"I got a lot of reps this week. Just trying to take advantage of my opportunities.
"I don't care where I play. I just want to play."
Punter Pressley Harvin III also continues to deal with a hamstring injury. He didn't practice all week and has been ruled out.
"It's just a nagging thing," said Harvin of dealing with the injury. "You don't really want to want to think about, but it's there. At the end of the day things happen and you just have to keep working through them."
The Steelers added punter Brad Wing to the practice squad on Wednesday with Harvin dealing with the injury.
Wing is no stranger to the Steelers, as he played one season for the black and gold. Wing appeared in each of the Steelers 16 regular-season games in 2014, punting 61 times for 2,668 yards while landing 20 attempts inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
"I am just doing what they are telling me, which is prepare as if I am going to play," said Wing. "As soon as they tell me what the deal is, we will go from there. From my end just prepare as if I am going to play and do what they tell me to do."
Wing was traded to the New York Giants, spending three seasons there. In his first season with the Giants, he had a 44.5-yard gross average and a 38.9-yard net average. He had 33 punts inside the 20-yard line, which tied a Giants' single-season record.
In 64 career NFL games, Wing has a 44.7-yard gross average and a 38.8-yard net average. He has placed 100 punts inside the 20-yard line. Wing also played in the AAF and in the XFL last season.
He said being back with the Steelers is special for him, though.
"It's surreal. I love this place. I always loved this place," said Wing. "This is a special place. To be brought back in, see the faces, it's amazing."
