NFL cuts preseason schedule in half as coronavirus continues to surge: report

The NFL will be reducing its preseason by two games according to ProFootballTalk, cutting out the first and last week due to the surge of coronavirus cases throughout the country.

This comes after two other events were already canceled last week: The 2020 Hall of Fame Game and Hall of Fame induction ceremony were called off because it’s simply not safe to have a gathering of that size right now. So far, training camps are still projected to start at the end of July. But even that may change soon with the preseason starting later than it normally would.
