No sooner did players start coming back to team facilities, than the 8th Circuit granted the league’s request and issue as temporary stay of the injunction ending the lockout.

“The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the merits of the motion for a stay pending appeal,” the appeals court said.”…

The appeals court is expected to rule next week on the NFL’s request for a more permanent stay that would last through its appeal of the injunction. That process is expected to take 6-8 weeks.
