Thursday night, the NFL will hold a live game for the first time since the Buccaneers knocked off the Chiefs in last February's Super Bowl. The 2021 preseason will begin with the Steelers and Cowboys squaring off in the annual NFL Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.
The excitement surrounding the NFL's first game of the preseason is usually more about the return of the sport than about the play on the field. Even with the preseason shortened to three games in 2021 — or four in the case of the Steelers and the Cowboys — coaches will certainly limit the reps of their starters while some won't play at all. That includes Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott, who is battling a shoulder injury.
Still, there will be some intriguing players on the field in the preseason opener. Running back Najee Harris, the Steelers' first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, should get a few carries. The former Alabama running back racked up 1,891 scrimmage yards and 30 touchdowns during the 2020 college season and finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
Meanwhile, Dallas' first-round pick, Micah Parsons, may see action as well. The former Penn State linebacker hasn't played since the 2019 college season, so it will be interesting to see if he has to shake off any rust in his return.
Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins will be the biggest name to watch aside from those two. He signed with Pittsburgh during the 2021 offseason less than two years after being a top-15 pick by the Washington Football Team. Haskins is looking to revive his career and prove that he can be a long-term successor to Ben Roethlisberger. This will be his first chance to do that on the field and push Mason Rudolph for the backup job.

Steelers vs. Cowboys live updates, highlights from Hall of Fame Game
(All times Eastern)
9:02 p.m. — There's our first penalty of the game. The Cowboys are whistled for holding. That sets up a third-and-15 that is nearly intercepted by the Steelers. The Cowboys line up to go for it on fourth-and-15 but then call the first timeout of the game.
8:58 p.m. — Cooper Rush is in at quarterback for the Cowboys. He completes his first pass for 13 yards to Sean McKeon.
8:57 p.m. — Claypool walked off the field under his own power, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor.
Chase Claypool atones for the earlier drop with a very, very nice 45-yard catch. Reached out for it and had to dive to catch it. Tried to get up and run for a few extra yards before he's tackled.
He was down on the field for a while, but walks off. I'd say that's it for Claypool

8:55 p.m. — The two teams are a combined one for three on field goals now. Sam Sloman misses the field goal wide-right. It's still 3-0 Cowboys.
8:54 p.m. — The Steelers only go backward after Claypool's injury. They lose two yards on two Najee Harris runs and a Mason Rudolph incompletion that was well behind James Washington. Field goal attempt upcoming.
8:50 p.m. — Uh oh. Chase Claypool makes a great, diving catch for a 45-yard gain, but he's down after the play. Claypool had 62 catches for 873 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie.
8:49 p.m. — Erin Andrews is interviewing Ezekiel Elliott on the sidelines. He's down 10 pounds after "cleaning up" his diet during the offseason.
8:45 p.m. — Well, so much for Knight's heads-up play. The Cowboys' short field goal is blocked by the Steelers. The score remains 3-0 in Dallas' favor.
8:44 p.m. — Heads up play by left tackle Brandon Knight. He lets his man get by Garrett Gilbert who was strip-sacked, but Knight jumps on it. That gives the Cowboys an opportunity to kick a field goal on fourth down.
8:43 p.m. — Peyton Manning is talking about his new, alternate ESPN broadcast with Eli Manning where the two of them will watch football together. He's also joking about the size of his neck and forehead. Never change, Peyton. Never change.
8:42 p.m. — The Cowboys start the second quarter with a 17-yard catch and run by Sewo Olonilua and a 9-yard run by Rico Dowdle. They're nearing the red-zone once again.

8:37 p.m. — On third down, Garrett Gilbert converts again. He completes a 13-yard pass to Sean McKeon. The Cowboys needed 12 yards. First down, Cowboys at the end of the first quarter.
8:34 p.m. — Cedrick Wilson records the biggest catch of the game so far. Garrett Gilbert hits him for a gain of 21.
8:32 p.m. — Najee Harris already has four carries for 18 yards for the Steelers. He also has a 3-yard catch. The Steelers are certainly looking to get him some touches at the beginning of his NFL career.
8:30 p.m. — The Steelers moved the ball out around midfield but Chase Claypool dropped a pass on third down. It was a bit out in front of him, but it was catchable. The Steelers put down to the Cowboys 10-yard line.
8:26 p.m. — Pittsburgh's offense gets back on the field and Rudolph completes a screen pass to Diontae Johnson. He takes the ball for a first down.
Score: Cowboys 3, Steelers 0
8:22 p.m. — The Steelers get a third-down stop. The Steelers get pressure on Gilbert again and Tre Norwood nearly gets an interception. The Cowboys settle for a field goal and take a 3-0 lead.
8:21 p.m. — The Steelers notch the first sack of the preseason. Alex Highsmith beats Ty Nsekhe at left tackle to bring down Gilbert. It's Highsmith's second pressure of the game; he forced Gilbert into an incompletion on the first.
8:20 p.m. — Another third down, another conversion. Gilbert has plenty of time in the pocket and finds Rico Dowdle out of the backfield. Dowdle takes it to the five. First and goal for the Cowboys.
8:18 p.m. — On third down, Gilbert completes another pass. Noah Brown makes a strong-handed catch. First down, Cowboys, at the Steelers' 20-yard line.
8:16 p.m. — Garrett Gilbert starts at quarterback for the Cowboys. He finds Dalton Schultz for a 15-yard gain on his first pass.
8:13 p.m. — And there's the first big play of the game. Mason Rudolph drops the ball after hitting Chase Claypool as he came across the formation in the backfield. Cowboys linebacker and first-round pick Micah Parsons jumps on the fumble in the backfield. The Cowboys get the ball for the first time.
8:12 p.m. — Mason Rudolph hits Chase Claypool down the field for another first down. It was an 11-yard gain. Rudolph has looked good throwing the ball so far.
8:10 p.m. — Najee Harris gets his first carry on the next play. He bulls forward for a gain of about five yards and a first down.

7:58 p.m. — Almost time for kickoff!

What's the latest on the Dak and Wentz injuries, and how likely is it that Deshaun Watson stays with the Texans all season?@JayGlazer gives us updates on those stories and more: pic.twitter.com/saXdNGscvj

I've heard the Cowboys are going to have a joint practice with the Rams on Saturday -- which seems a bit ambitious -- so I don't know that they'll play anyone of import in this game. In fact, they left 16 players back in California.
