The Baltimore Ravens will get an early start to their preseason slate.
The Ravens will face the Chicago Bears in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Tuesday. It's the Ravens' first, the Bears' record-tying fifth.
They'll be there the same weekend that linebacker Ray Lewis, the second player the Ravens ever drafted, becomes the franchise's second hall of famer (behind Jonathan Ogden, the first player they drafted).
The Hall of Fame game will kick off Thursday, Aug. 2 at 8 p.m. Baltimore time. Lewis and the rest of the year's hall of famers will be inducted on Saturday, Aug.
