The coaches moved linebacker JR Williamson back to the left side after a brief, experimental visit behind Gus Otto on the right. Dan Conners was moved from left linebacker to middle linebacker behind Bill Budness, who himself was spelling the injured Arch Matsos. Matsos had been discharged from the hospital following treatment for concussion and a fractured cheekbone and was back on the practice field, but did not participate in drills.

Howie Williams was installed at right safety.

The Raiders waived three players: wide receiver Bill Miller, guard Marv Marinovich, and linebacker Dick Hermann.
