Earlier, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis granted the NFL's request for a temporary stay of the injunction that lifted the 45-day lockout. Arguments will be heard as early as next week on whether that order from a federal judge in Minnesota should be overturned altogether. The NFL's announcement came during the NFL draft, not long after the third round wrapped up, and on the very day players were allowed to return to their teams' facilities for the first time since March. Dozens if not hundreds of players happily met with coaches, worked out and got a peek at their playbooks.
