Even though the Philadelphia Eagles were a long shot to play in the 2020 Hall of Fame Game despite Harold Carmichael being selected to join Canton back in January, it was still a huge relief to hear the NFC East champions wouldn’t be participating.
On Tuesday, it was announced the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys would be participating in this year’s game on Aug. 6 since each team will have plenty of reasons to celebrate that weekend.
While the Eagles are obviously excited for Carmichael since the wideout has always been considered one of the best players in franchise history to suit up for Philadelphia, they should also feel thrilled over not having to worry about a fifth preseason game.
