Head coach Eddie Erdelatz said the team planned to use defensive back John Harris on both offense and defense against the Titans on the 11th. The move was prompted by the team’s lack of a backup at Charlie Hardy’s wide receiver position following the release of Al Hoisington on November 14.

Flanker Alan Goldstein was expected to return to the lineup against the Titans after missing the Chargers game with an ankle injury. Nyle McFarlane was still expected to start at flanker in front of Goldstein.

Several players were complaining of skin burns and were blaming the fresh lime put down to mark the lines last Sunday at Candlestick Park.

Hayward mayor RK Dettenweiler said his city would still go forward with a proposal to build a stadium there despite the recent decision by the Oakland City Council and Alameda County Board of Supervisors to focus on the Hegenburger Road site in Oakland.
