    The NFL has ordered all teams to have cameras in their locker rooms next season, with video shown only on stadium scoreboards. It's part of commissioner Roger Goodell's initiative for "enhancing the fan experience in our stadiums." The videos will be available on team apps as well.

    Each team will operate the cameras and will determine what is shown on the video boards and apps.

     

    Preseason telecasts

    The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens and the team they beat, the San Francisco 49ers, each will make one national TV appearance during the preseason this summer.

    The Ravens play the third of their four-game preseason schedule on Aug. 22, hosting Carolina on ESPN. San Francisco concludes its exhibition schedule with a home game against Minnesota on Aug. 25 on NBC.

    Earlier that afternoon, New Orleans visits Houston on Fox.

    Dallas plays Miami in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 4 on NBC to open the preseason. Other highlights among nationally televised games are Pittsburgh at Washington on Aug. 19 and Seattle at Green Bay on Aug. 23.

      That's a great idea. Now everyone in the stadium can see and hear Gregg Williams implore his players to destroy an opponent player's knee.
