Thanks—in part—to the upcoming enshrinement of franchise great Luke Kuechly, the Carolina Panthers will serve as one half of this summer's Hall of Fame Game. They'll be taking on the Arizona Cardinals—who will help send their own legend, former wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, into football immortality this weekend.
But before we get there, we have ourselves the first preseason game of the 2026 NFL campaign.
