The Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers will square off on Thanksgiving during the 2015 NFL season.

The NFL is releasing the schedules for all 32 teams on Tuesday night, but like everything there was news leaking out well in advance. One of the reports involves the annual Thanksgiving day game hosted by the Dallas Cowboys.

More from Carolina Panthers

Oddly, the report doesn’t come out of Dallas but rather the Charlotte ObserverThat is because the Carolina Panthers will be headed to Dallas for the game on Thursday, November 6th. That means new Cowboys defensive lineman Greg Hardy will be facing off against his former team during the game, which will make for interesting storyline building up to the game.

The Cowboys are one of two teams that host the game annually on Thanksgiving, the Detroit Lions being the other. The NFL added a third game recently which reportedly will feature the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.

Again, these are all rumors and nothing is official yet. The NFL will announce the full and official 2015 schedules at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
