SIRIUS NFL Radio hosts will broadcast live on location from all 32 NFL training camp sites around the country from July 26 to August 16, providing listeners with an inside look at the progress of each team as they prepare for the coming season, analyzing the performances of veterans and newcomers, interviewing players and examining rosters with coaches and GMs. All shows air exclusively on SIRIUS NFL Radio channel 124.
On Thursday, July 26, Vic Carucci and Gil Brandt host the tour's kickoff show live from the Dallas Cowboys training camp at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX.
