On Tuesday there was a report that the Pro Football Hall of Fame game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys remains scheduled and that if ultimately played, it could include fans being in attendance. On Wednesday, however, a different report now makes it seem like a foregone conclusion that the Hall of Fame game won’t take place this year and thus will likely be cancelled within the next three weeks.
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network on Wednesday, the NFL and NFLPA are currently discussing the possibility of shortening the 2020 preseason. Pelissero goes on to say that the reasoning behind a shortened preseason would be to allow more COVID-19 safety protocols to be instituted and for there to be more preparation time for players leading into the regular season.
