From the article

Herbert took a career-high 54 sacks behind a patchwork offensive line, leading the league with 268 pressures taken and a 43.3 pressure rate. Slater and Alt are back, but they'll also be joined on the line by free-agent signings Tyler Biadasz and Cole Strange, as well as second-round rookie Jake Slaughter. Assuming the group stays healthy, Herbert should be well protected.

Herbert's sack rate should improve with healthy offensive line returning.

Herbert took a career-high 54 sacks in 2024 behind a patchwork offensive line, leading the league with 268 pressures and a 43.3 pressure rate; with Slater and Alt returning and new additions Tyler Biadasz, Cole Strange, and second-round rookie Jake Slaughter, Herbert should be well protected in 2026 assuming the group stays healthy.
