Steelers' Cam Heyward: Pro Football Hall of Fame Game vs. Cowboys 'Probably Out'

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward isn't optimistic the Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys will be played.

"We talk so much about safety," he added. "Why would we want to expose two teams to an extra game a week early? Plus, I think there is a rule that says you need 47 days of activity before you get to the first game.
