Players in limbo after lockout lifted

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark says it's time to get back to business.

"I'm telling guys, 'Let's go to work tomorrow,' " Clark told ESPN's Rachel Nichols on Monday.

"I've talked to a lot of guys on the phone -- told them tomorrow is still [a] big day," Clark told Nichols. "If they [the NFL] get this stay granted, there won't be anything going on for a while -- no OTAs, no minicamps -- so let's go in the building tomorrow and take advantage while the chain is off the door, so to speak."

The players' organization -- now a trade association and not a union -- emailed players late Monday night, advising them they are legally entitled to show up at team facilities Tuesday and that teams are not allowed to block their access.

In order to avoid any potential legal ramifications, the NFL Management Council spoke to all 32 teams tonight via telephone Monday night and urged teams to let players into their buildings on Tuesday -- with certain stipulations, according to two league sources.

The sources said teams were told not to open their weight rooms nor engage in any contract discussions, but to let their players in the building. The league also intends to get security in place for players to come in to avoid any potential confrontations or photo opportunities for the media. The NFL intends to debrief teams again in the morning with further instructions.
