We still don’t know whether there’s going to be an NFL season this year -- but that did not stop the league from releasing its 2011 preseason schedule on Tuesday.
If the owners and players can settle their differences sometime in the next few months, the preseason will kick off with the NFC runner-up Chicago Bears facing the St. Louis Rams in the Pro Football Hall of Fame game at Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 7.
