The Hall of Fame Game was canceled for 2020 Thursday and the ceremonies were postponed. However, the NFL has alerted teams the date for players to report remains a go for July 28.
NFL EVP Jeff Pash said teams have been advised that training camps are expected to open "on the normal schedule."

So there is a date to report: July 28. The NFL and NFLPA are still negotiating what camp will look like and how the protocols will be handled and everything else. But players will arrive on time. https://t.co/BLrbUQnRXx

One New York-based reporter added preseason could be shortened to two games, per some of the players he has spoken with about plans.
And with the cancellation of the annual Hall of Fame preseason game (along with the induction ceremonies) many expect the NFL to soon reduce the entire preseason to two games, too.
