GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Running back Eddie Lacy isnt the only Green Bay Packer who slimmed down in the offseason.While Lacy isnt saying how many pounds he lost in his workouts with fitness expert Tony Horton, a leaner Datone Jones has been forthcoming about his weight loss.Jones said hes shed about 15 pounds since last season in the defensive linemans conversion to playing more at outside linebacker.I dont know what Datone did over the break, but he dropped some more pounds, Winston Moss, the Packers associate head coach/linebackers coach, said this week.Down to 284 pounds, a lighter Jones is hoping to make a greater impact on Green Bays defense after three mostly unproductive seasons since the Packers selected him in the first round of the 2013 draft.His switch to what the Green Bay coaches refer to as an elephant end gives the Packers pass-rush rotation led by Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers another option.So far in training camp, Jones is drawing good reviews in the hybrid role, which has him standing up as a linebacker and also lining up inside on the defensive line.We wanted to look at Datone rushing from the outside, defensive coordinator Dom Capers said about the switch, a move that started the second half of last season.He had been primarily an inside player, an inside rusher, Capers added. We liked his size, his ability to be physical coming off the edge. I thought you saw that show up Friday night.Jones led the Packers with two quarterback hits and had one of their four sacks in the teams first preseason game, a 17-11 win over the Cleveland Browns.He got off to a very good start, had some very good physical plays, had the sack, Capers said.Both Capers and Moss said the 6-foot-4 Jones brings a three-dimensional skillset to the field as a run stopper on the outside, a pass rusher from the outside or inside and being able to drop into pass coverage.Its the NFL, Jones said. Youve got to be able to adjust to the position change quick and be a very quick learner.Jones has embraced the full-time change going into this season, saying hes feeling more comfortable with the added responsibilities at linebacker.An abundance of practice reps has eased the adjustment as well with the coaches limiting the work in camp for Matthews and Peppers, whose expertise at the position has been valuable for Jones.Just having Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, two future Hall of Famers to learn from, that elevates our game even more, Jones said.And the former high draft pick out of UCLA knows whats at stake going into the final year of his rookie contract.Jones has started only three games and has just 8+ sacks, including the playoffs.I know what position Im in, Jones said. Its my contract year. Im not blind to that. I love playing football, and at the end of the day, may the best man win. Im out here competing. I have to go out and show what I can do.Game notes QB Aaron Rodgers isnt sure if he will play Thursday night against the Oakland Raiders. Coach Mike McCarthy rested Rodgers in the game Friday and said decisions on playing time wont be made until Wednesday. If I play, it wont be a whole lot, but Im still waiting, Rodgers said Monday. ...

"We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors.Inverness CT ensured there would be no nervy finish to the season for them with a 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. The victory all but secured top-flight safety for the Highlanders, who claimed the points after going behind to a Kallum Higginbotham goal just before the interval. Inverness CT ensured there would be no nervy finish to the season for them with a 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock The hosts hit back after Killie goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald was dismissed on 53 minutes for denying Ross Draper a goalscoring opportunity, Greg Tansey levelling from the resulting spot-kick. Draper and Danny Williams then both struck in a three-minute spell to seal the victory and leave Kilmarnock in the thick of relegation trouble.Inverness carved out the first real opening after half-an-hour when Miles Storey ran at the heart of the Killie defence into the penalty area, where Williams stepped on to the ball and curled a shot towards the far corner which was pushed behind by MacDonald. Kallum Higginbotham opens the scoring for Kilmarnock at Inverness From the resulting corner the ball dropped at the feet of Gary Warren and he scooped a net-bound effort towards the corner, but Julien Faubert got up to head the ball clear.The home side came close with another corner three minutes later as Danny Devine flicked the ball towards the back post where Draper hooked the ball past MacDonald and against the outside of the upright. Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark gave his post-match thoughts after his side were beaten by Inverness CT But Kilmarnock took the lead on 44 minutes as Greg Kiltie laid off a pass to Higginbotham and he stepped inside Tansey to curl the ball inside the far post from 16 yardsFive minutes after the break, Rory McKenzie took a quick throw-in to Faubert and he delivered a superb cross into the box for Kris Boyd to send his diving header just over the target from six yards.ddddddddddddInverness were gifted a route back into the match when Draper (53) latched on to a sloppy pass back from Conrad Balatoni and nicked the ball round MacDonald, who was committed to the challenge and brought the midfielder down. Inverness CT celebrates Gerg Tanseys (c) goal MacDonald was dismissed by referee John Beaton, and two minutes later Tansey blasted the resulting penalty past the diving Conor Brennan, who got his fingers to the ball but was beaten by the pace.Tansey then tested Brennan with a powerful strike from 25 yards, which the keeper held, and within minutes Drapers shot hit grounded Kilmarnock defender Miles Addison and spun off the outside of the post. Man-of-the-match Greg Tansey and Ross Draper of Inverness give their thoughts after the win over Kilmarnock At the other end of the pitch Boyd placed a free-kick from 30 yards around the Thistle wall only to be denied by the post, and the ball spun off the onrushing McKenzie and flew wide of the target.Josh Meekings then headed the ball wide from five yards with the goal at his mercy after Storey delivered a superb cross to the back post.Inverness took the lead on 73 minutes when Warren flicked on yet another corner and Draper hooked the ball past both Brennan and Boyd from inside the six-yard box. Ross Draper gives Inverness CT the lead over Kilmarnock Storey was again involved in the third goal when he created a yard of space just inside the penalty area and threaded a pass to Williams, who held off a defender to slot the ball past the advancing Brennan.Faubert almost snatched a goal for Killie with 10 minutes remaining as Inverness failed to clear his corner, and his return delivery to the back of the six-yard boss smacked off the bar, before Boyd crashed a shot over seconds later.But the visitors were second best for most of the match and could well be involved in a play-off with Championship opponents at the end of the campaign.
