Pro Football Hall of Fame Game 2016: Packers vs. Colts TV Info, Top Storylines

The Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts are the most well-represented franchises this weekend in Canton, Ohio, where both teams will give legends gold jackets and collide on the field in the 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.

This is a big blow for Hundley, a high-upside pick by the Packers in the fifth round of the 2015 draft out of UCLA. More in-game reps would be nothing but a good thing for all involved, but it sounds like the duties will go to the duo of Joe Callahan and Marquise Williams instead.

There isn’t anything as close to official on Luck, but one of the league’s most abused passers from a year ago doesn’t figure to stick in the game long. USA Today’s Tom Pelissero passed along an update on the …
