Injury Updates

Guard Wayne Hawkins, who had suffered a broken jaw in the Broncos game on the 15th, had been fitted with a new facemask for his helmet and returned to practice.

Center Jim Otto, who had suffered a bruised back in the Chargers game was back at practice, but his availability for the Titans game on the 29th was still in question.

Defensive tackle Volney Peters, recovering from a calf injury, was expected to play, though to a limited extent.

Defensive tackle Hal Smith, with a broken bone in his foot, was placed on injured reserve and would definitely miss the game.
