While the NFL is planning to announce its 2020 schedule of games on Thursday evening, it is also finalizing its slate of preseason exhibition games. Per The Athletic’s Jeff Duncan, one of those kickoffs will be a prime-time matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, which will be broadcast nationally on FOX.
That’s a game the Saints will travel to Pittsburgh for, and it’s possible they will try to organize joint practices with the Steelers. It’s a favorite training camp tactic of Saints coach Sean Payton, who has worked to run joint practices with preseason opponents including the Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots, and Houston Texans in past years.
