• Head coach Marty Feldman said the team wasn’t interested in 49ers castoff halfback Ray Norton, saying that while Norton was a “great athlete” with “excellent speed” he wasn’t a good enough blocker or receiver to fit the Raiders’ needs

• The team revised the news regarding defensive end Jon Jelacic’s military service

• Initial reports said Jelacic was required to join his army reserve unit on October 1, but the date was now pushed back to the 15th
