The team held its last two-a-day practice of training camp.

The team hired former Oakland Oaks public address announcer Stan Easterling to serve the Raiders in that role for the 1960 season.

Bob Brachman of the Examiner reported that, by arrangement of the AFL, the Raiders had first dibs on any player released by the 49ers and half the players released by the Redskins.

Defensive end Larry Barnes missed practice with a stomach bug.

First-string quarterback Tom Flores pulled his right calf muscle during a practice drill and his status for the game against the Texans on the 31st was uncertain.

Head coach Eddie Erdelatz said guards Charlie Kaaihue and Don Manoukian, defensive end Charley Powell, and quarterback Bob Webb would sit out the Texans game to nurse injuries.
