PRO FOOTBALL REPORT / WEEKDAY UPDATE : RAIDERS : There’s No Rush to Make Decisions on Personnel

Will Howie Long be activated for Sunday’s game at San Diego? Will tailback Bo Jackson make his season debut against the Chargers? Will the Raiders put tailback Greg Bell on injured reserve with a sprained ankle?

Long, who broke a bone in his right foot on Sept. 16 in a game at Seattle, has practiced this week.

“The foot feels fine,” Long said.

Will Long play?

“Ask the boss,” Long said.

Raider Coach Art Shell said he won’t make any personnel moves until today, when the Raiders must inform the NFL office in New York of them by 1 p.m. “We’re going down to the wire just like we did on the trading deadline,” Shell said. “We haven’t made the final decisions yet.”

Steve Ortmayer, former Charger director of football operations, was rehired as Raider special teams coach and director of football operations after he was released by the Chargers last winter.

The Raiders also have seven former Chargers on their roster--offensive lineman James FitzPatrick, cornerback Elvis Patterson, wide receiver Jamie Holland, defensive tackle Mike Charles, linebacker Tom Benson, tight end Andy Parker and running back Napoleon McCallum.

Three Raider assistants also worked in San Diego--defensive coordinator Dave Adolph, linebacker coach Sam Gruneisen and strength-conditioning coach Doug Wilkerson. Raider owner Al Davis is also a former Charger assistant, and executive assistant Al LoCasale served as the Chargers’ director of player personnel.

On the other side, Alex Gibbs, Charger offensive line coach, was a Raider assistant coach for the last two seasons and strength coach John Dunn worked for the Raiders for the last three seasons.

Cornerback Sam Seale is also a former Raider.
