The Chicago Bears will open up the 2011 NFL Preseason against the St. Louis Rams on August 7th in the Hall of Fame game. However, with the NFL still experiencing a lockout, the game could possibly never be played.

Even if the game is up in the air, the Bears should be excited about the opportunity to showcase their team in the NFL’s first game since Super Bowl XLV.

This would be the first time the Bears play in the Hall of Fame game since 2005.

Here is a look at the Bears Preseason schedule:

Sunday, Aug. 7: Chicago v.s. St. Louis, at Canton, Ohio (8 PM ET) NBC

Monday, Aug. 22: Chicago at N.Y. Giants (8 PM ET) ESPN

Saturday, Aug. 27: Chicago at Tennessee (TBD)

Thursday, Sep. 1: Cleveland at Chicago (TBD)

In addition to home and away games against NFC North rivals Lions, Packers and Vikings, the Bears will host the Falcons, Panthers, Seahawks, Chiefs and Chargers. They will also visit the Saints, Buccaneers, Eagles, Broncos and Raiders next regular season.
