EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — A federal appeals court threw the NFL back into chaos late Friday, granting the NFL's request to essentially put the lockout back in place.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis granted the league's bid for a temporary stay of a judge's order lifting the lockout so arguments can be heard on whether that order should be overturned altogether.

"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 ruling said.

The decision came only hours after teams reopened their doors to players and some basic football operations began, and it came as the second round of the draft was under way.
