The Los Angeles Chargers will kick off their preseason early by facing the Detroit Lions in the Hall of Fame Game, scheduled for July 31 in Canton, Ohio. This game marks a special occasion as it honors former tight end Antonio Gates, who will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame as part of a small class alongside notable players. The Chargers aim to revitalize their early-season approach, also preparing for their regular season opener in Brazil on September 5, further enhancing their international reach as they host a game in South America.
The Chargers haven't played in the Hall of Fame game since 1994, making their participation this year notable as they honor Antonio Gates.
Antonio Gates, the all-time touchdown leader for tight ends, will enter the Hall of Fame as part of the smallest class in 20 years.
