Scotty Stirling of the Tribune reported that quarterback Tom Flores was due to leave the hospital in a few days after spending several days there fighting off a unspecified respiratory condition. His doctor wouldn’t rule out the possibility that he had tuberculosis, but he added that tests were inconclusive and he didn’t think that was the most likely explanation. The doctor added that he expected Flores to be able to play in 1962.

Fullback Clem Daniels and linebacker Jackie Simpson signed their 1962 contracts.
