A handful of Jets players were allowed into the team's offices but were pi evented from working out. Three Giants were permitted inside the teams budding and given the option of training. Redskins general manager Bruce Allen told two players they could be inside the building but could not woik out. Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin couldnt get past the security gate and was told team officials would contact hint about how to proceed. Browns receiver Josh Cribbs arrived in workout gear but couldn't use team facilities. The league issued a statement early Tuesday to clubs saying players should be treated with courtesy and respect if they show up." But the league added it needs a few days to sort this football-relate- d before out activities can take place. NFL attorney Jeff Pash said lute Tuesday aiternoon that the leagues request for an appeal of the injunction was placed on the docket of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The league is appealing Nelsons injunction and believes it is on sound legal footing in its attempt to have the injunction stayed. Nelson will begin reviewing the leagues request and thus allow the lockout to continue. The NFL also was ordered to respond by 6 p.m. Wednesday with a response to the players request to force the league to impose work rules to begin the league year. She also has asked that attorneys for the group of players that sought the injunction to submit a response to the league's request for a stay. We remain confident in our legal position, Pash said in a conference call on Tuesday afternoon. We will certainly suggest that the review be expedited so that we can get the guidance from the appeals court at the earliest possible time. We also filed a motion last night with Judge Nelson asking that she stay the injunction that she entered pending review by the appeals court. is The seeking league clarification from Nelson about how to proceed. Club officials remain uncertain about whether theyre supposed to begin the league year, which would mean opening the signing and trading period. For now, the league is waiting until Nelson offers further instructions. NFLPA attorney Mark Levin told players they should actively solicit offers if free-agen- free-agen- they are unsigned. But because the league hasnt issued rules governing free agency, it is not considered feasible to sign players. The league is also concerned that if Nelson orders the league year to begin, there could be a chaotic period if an appeal of the injunction is successful. If the owners appeal is granted, the lockout would be reinstituted. Were trying to avoid a situation where youre trying to unscramble an egg, he said. Attorney Jim Quinn argues, however, that Nelsons decision is to issue the injunction tantamount to ordering the league to begin the new year and allow free agency to begin. The league should be putting the league year in place, allowing players to not only show up at different training facilities, but actually work out and train, get ready for the season to start, Quinn said told ESPN on Tuesday.
