The Hall of Fame Game will take place this Sunday evening in Canton, Ohio. The annual event is the kickoff of the NFL‘s preseason, which marks the five-week point before the beginning of the highly anticipated regular season. It has been a very busy day in terms of news coming out of the NFL in the past few days. Here’s a look at some of the more intriguing stories and a peek ahead to a team with two tough challenges to begin the season.

The Seattle Seahawks are clearly compiling talent in the great Northwest, and they are intent on making a Super Bowl run this year and every year in the near future. The recent hip injury to hotshot wide receiver Percy Harvin may put a wrench in this plan in the immediate future. Harvin arrived as a highly touted off-season addition from Minnesota, but everybody who has followed his career know that he has been plagued with injuries and other calamities. The surgery that he will require is estimated to put him out of action until about mid-November.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper made the news for all the wrong reasons in the past few days as video of him using a vicious racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert have surfaced on the Internet and quickly made the rounds. The event has left Cooper embarrassed and apologetic, but it remains to be seen how his teammates, Philadelphia fans and the rest of the league will react to his verbal misstep. Quarterback Michael Vick is anxious to turn the page on this drama and focus on the task at hand, which is returning the Eagles to a competitive team after a 4 – 12 record in 2012.

Head coach Chip Kelly deserted the University of Oregon quickly in order to pounce on his opportunity to coach in the NFL, and he’s getting a taste of just how stressful it can be a bit sooner than he had likely envisioned.

A look at the regular season schedules shows that the schedule makers have dealt the San Francisco 49ers two very challenging opponents in September. After hosting the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 in a repeat of the opening weekend matchup of 2012, the 49ers will travel to Seattle to play the Seahawks in an always rambunctious and disorienting environment. If the Super Bowl representatives from the NFC can win both of these games, it will set another successful season in motion.
