Beck Leads Cardinals in Hall of Fame Game as Card-Panthers Play-By-Play Feels Like a Preseason Classic
Live updates from the Hall of Fame Game show a back-and-forth, backup-heavy tilt between the Cardinals and Panthers. Cardinals rookie Carson Beck shined in his NFL debut, going 9-for-10 for 129 yards with a 5-yard TD to Simi Fehoko to push Arizona ahead, while Carolina answered with a touchdown by AJ Dillon to knot the score at 14-14 at halftime. Bryce Young wasn’t expected to play for the Panthers, and the QB rotation included Kenny Pickett and Haynes King as the Panthers tune up for the 2026 season. Carolina also unveiled seven 2026 draft picks, including Monroe Freeling (not slated to play) and others, as NBC televises the game with Peacock, NFL+ and Fubo streaming options.
