Wayne Crow was switched to the defensive side of the ball to try his hand at cornerback.

The team hired University of California assistant Wes Fry to be their player personnel director. Fry’s primary area of responsibility was the scouting of college players.

The team signed free agent wide receiver Carl Isaacs on or before this date.

They also cut 14 players: quarterbacks Sandy Lederman, Ed Hino, Ron Newhouse and Sam McCord, halfbacks Stan Jones, Max Fields, Andrew Pierce, James Hall, and Al Feola, ends Gordon Tovani, Joe Kominski, Mose Mastelotto, and Willis Towne, and tackle Charles Bates. Three additional players left camp voluntarily: tackle Curtis Iaukea, halfback Vin Hogan, and linebacker Tommy Davis.

In injury news, tight end Irv Nikolai twisted an ankle and was operating at reduced capacity, quarterback Tom Flores pulled a groin muscle but was able to continue to practice, offensive lineman Clord Boyette pulled a muscle and was expected to be out 2-3 days, guard Charlie Kaaihue twisted his left ankle and was expected to be out 2-3 days, and defensive end Jim Woodard reinjured the knee he hurt on the 12th and the team feared he could be out for a number of weeks. Woodard had torn ligaments in the same knee last year.
