October 27, 1965

Transactions

  • The Raiders signed former Rams and Redskins back Pervis Atkins on or around this date. He had been drafted by the AFL's Minneapolis/St Paul franchise in late 1959 and his AFL signing rights had been awarded to Oakland soon after. The Raiders planned to try him at tight end.

Injury Updates

  • Tight end Billy Cannon was likely to be out for about four weeks with a hamstring pull suffered in the Patriots game on the 24th. Defensive back Kent McCloughan suffered shoulder and thigh bruises in the same game, but was cleared to play for the Chiefs game on the 31st. Quarterback Dick Wood (knee) was still limping in practice and his status was uncertain.
