yeah, so make sure you don't start practicing with the semi-pro team until we get you that phat contract with the big signing bonus

Obviously, it wouldn't make much sense for a player to expose himself to a potentially career-ending injury if he doesn't have a contract or at least some kind of arrangement regarding an injury settlement. Even if there isn't a rule that players must have a contract to participate in training camp, most player agents would never let their clients take such a risk.

I've been sifting through the CBA trying to find some indication of such a rule, but it's tough to find anything amidst all that legal jargon.
