Although NFL players are mobilizing after being told they should report to work as soon as Tuesday after a federal judge granted their injunction ending the lockout, the league isn't back to business yet.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the National Football Post that the league doesn't intend to resume business, including letting players have access to team facilities, until a potential stay is sought.
"We do not intend to start the league year until we have had an opportunity to seek a stay," Aiello said.
NFL Players Association outside counsel Jim Quinn, who represented the players in their class action against the NFL, acknowledged in comments to USA Today that the NFL has some time to construct work rules prior to players reporting.
"By law, we have to give it a day or so to let the dust settle and see if a stay gets in place and then we'll decide what happens next,'' Quinn said.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Steelers players representative Ryan Clark told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he has already contacted teammates to tell them that they should come to work Tuesday.
"I'm trying to get guys there at 8 o'clock, to get out there and show we want to be here, we want too be part of this organization and we want to be on the field," Clark said. "We want to show this is not a litigation process but an attempt to have football in 2011."
