Players and owners

will rejoin their legal teams Thursday for negotiations in Minneapolis, NFL Network's Albert Breer reported.

The two sides' representatives have been meeting since Monday at a law firm. There are meetings scheduled for Thursday, but not Friday, although the meetings could continue if necessary.

Chief Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan has mediated the talks. Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith left negotiations Tuesday night to speak at the NFLPA-led rookie symposium in Florida on Wednesday.
