Nelson Bolden Jr. played for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1987 NFL season. He was part of the team as a replacement player during the players' strike that year. Bolden's time with the Steelers was brief, as the strike ended and regular players returned.
There should be a lot of Counter Strike players during daytime and at the weekends.
During the 1982 NFL players' strike, the New Orleans Saints, like other teams, used replacement players, often referred to as "scab" players. These replacements included local athletes, former college players, and those trying to make a name for themselves in the professional ranks. Notable replacement players for the Saints included quarterback Dave Wilson and running back Earl Campbell. The Saints played three games with these replacements before the regular players returned to the team.

In order for players to be playable players in "MLB 08 The Show," they must have played at least 1 game in the previous Major League Baseball season and they cannot be 1 of the players that are known as "replacement players" meaning players who played during the 1995 season while there was a Baseball strike ongoing, this is because the replacement players are banned from entering into the Players' Association which means they cannot be in any games that are under license with Major League Baseball and the Players' Association.
No. In fact, replacement RB Wilson was suing Skins for not getting a ring (that's as of 1990. Can't find any information as to settlement of his suit). A few replacement players did get rings, but they were the ones who remained with Skins after the strike; thus, they were no longer considered "replacement players". Replacement players did get winner's shares checks for NFC Championship Game and for Super Bowl, though.
The players were on strike during the season.
scabsAdded: Replacement workers.
I think it was due to a strike by the players. If I remember correctly the 1st two weeks of the season were played. The following week the players went on strike and no games were played, which probably would have been the Sept. 27th game. The next week replacement players were used.

Yes, on October 4 in Philly ... the Bears won 35-3. This game was the first of three the Bears would play with replacement players as the NFL players went on strike.
Players' strike has already begun in the Canadian Football League (CFL) following distribution of strike ballots by priority mail.
