Phone numbers are for ticket orders. I HOME I AWAY he makes plays." Zombo could start: If Jones' injured shoulder prevents him from playing Thursday night, undrafted rookie Frank Zombo probably will start at outside linebacker. Zombo worked in Jones' place with the No. 1 defense the last two days while Jones has been out. Coach Mike McCarthy hasn't ruled out Jones playing, but either way the Packers probably will take a long look at Zombo.

The former college defensive end has a good chance at making the roster as a 3-4 outside linebacker after playing well the past two weeks in camp and preseason games. "(Zombo) brings a fairly physical nature to playing the run," Capers said. "He's a conscientious guy. If he makes a mistake, he normally doesn't make the same mistake twice. For a young man that has not played (outside linebacker) before, he's gotten better.

He's taken advantage of his reps. "He went through a little stretch there where he had a sprained ankle and missed time. Since he's been back, every day in practice you'll see him make a play or two that kind of catches your eye." Pete Dougherty writes for the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Bulaga back at practice: First-round draft pick Bryan Bulaga was back at practice Tuesday after pulling out Monday night because of soreness in his hip flexor. Bulaga has felt some strain in his hip for the past week, but this week was the first practice he'd missed because of it.

He's making a strong push at Daryn Colledge for the starting job at left guard, where both players have performed well, and also is working as the top backup to Chad Clifton at left tackle. Bulaga still had some stiffness in his hip Tuesday, took fewer snaps than usual in team drills and was held out of one-on-one pass-rushing drills in pads. But he expects to play Thursday against Indianapolis. Colledge and Bulaga are expected to alternate series with the No. 1 offense, as they did the first two preseason games.

"I've done an OK job (at guard) so far," Bulaga said. "When you've got an experienced guy like (Colledge) that's played so many games, he's going to be solid in there, and Daryn is. I'm just trying to go out there, especially when you're with the (starters) and protecting Aaron (Rodgers), you really want to hunker down and make sure he stays clean, because when he stays clean Injury report Returned from Injury: Alex Joseph (thigh), Bryan Bulaga (hip flexor). New Injuries: WR Brett Swain (knee tendinitis), WR Greg Jennings (back spasms). Still out DE Cullen Jenkins (calf), OL Allen Barfore (lower back), OLB Brad Jones (shoulder), LB AJ.

The Packers signed Chillar to a contract extension last December that included $7 million in guaranteed pay. "(Chillar) gives us more flexibility defensively," Capers said. "He had good reps and did a good job at the outside linebacker position.

Probably with our injury situation, that will determine a little bit (where he plays), but it's to our advantage going into the season knowing he can play both positions."

He has bumped Desmond Bishop and A.J. Hawk from that role to play alongside starting inside linebacker Nick Barnett on passing downs.

Chillar had moved to outside linebacker the previous two weeks, but Brad Jones remains the starter there opposite Pro Bowler Clay Matthews. Brady Poppinga is the top backup. "I think Brady's had a very good camp, I really do," said Dom Capers, the Packers' defensive coordinator. "I think he's made a lot of improvement. Brady right now would probably be the next guy, then Brandon probably." Capers didn't commit to Chillar with the No.

"But we're more of a balanced team now. Coley (Janssen) had a really nice tournament. She's always been kind of a shadows player and now this is the year for her to really shine. "Our libera, Ashley Sol-berg really played well, too. Holy cats, I don't know if there was a ball that got by her all day." Tim Froberg 920-993-1000, ext 423, or tfrobergpostcrescentcom ment, also finishing 4-1.

"I'm super happy with how we played," Little Chute coach Anna Maass said. "We return five starters and we're a senior-laden team with some youngsters that we're trying to fit in. But we're a little banged-up with injuries right now and I was really pleased with how we played." The Mustangs graduated an elite player in Ellen Van-denberg, but return quality players like hitters Stacy Gloudemans and Coley Janssen. (17 kills, nine aces and 25 digs) and Rylee Moder (12 digs, five aces). Senior setter Clare McCarty set the tables for some of the Rockets' booming hitters with 87 assists.

The Rockets last won the FVA in 2005 and Moriarty will be disappointed if his team doesn't challenge for the FVA crown. "I think we're going to be a team to be reckoned with," he said. Little Chute also made an impressive showing in the season-opening tourna From D-l do that, it's hard to stop. I really like our team chemistry, too." Middle blocker Sarah Schuchhardt (19 kills, 15 block kills), right-side hitter Angela Dedering and defensive specialist Taylor Zehren (35 digs) are additional returning starters for the Rockets, who also received strong performances from young players like freshman outside hitter Haley Barnes 14 kills, nine block kills) and sophomores All Hovie RATTLERS REPORT Box score CEDAR RAPIDS ab WISCONSIN ab Richardson cf 4 Ke Davis rf 5 Segura 2b Wing 3b Cruz II mm Jiminez 1b bl 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 2 0 1 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 2 0 hbl 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Morris 1b Kh.Davis If Dennis dh Garfield Pacmek36 Marsecoss Llnd 2b Totals Grichuk rf Karcichss Bassdh Ramirez Allimancf Totals 36 310 3 Wisconsin 3, Cedar Rapids 0 The game Jake Odorizzi and Adrian Rosario grabbed a piece of history on Tuesday night as the duo combined to pitch a no-hitter for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in their win over the Cedar Rapids Kernels in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Then, the Brewers pitching prospect Dusen struck out 12 in a nine-inning complete game to beat Cedar Rapids. The last combined no-hitter in Timber Rattlers history was on July 26, 1990, when John Conner and Jim Smith teamed up to beat the Wausau Timbers. Kentrail Davis gave the Rattlers the lead in the fifth inning. He stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and one out Davis hit a sharp grounder that was headed to center, but Kernels starter Stephen Locke deflected the ball to second baseman Jean Segura for a 1 -4-3 putout to get the run home from third. Wisconsin tacked on two runs in the sixth inning.

Joey Pa-ciorek dropped a perfect squeeze bunt up the first base line to drive in the first run. DVontrey Richardson sent a chopper up the third base line with the bases loaded. Locke fielded the ball, but had no play as the third Wisconsin run crossed the plate. Odorizzi was also the starting pitcher at Burlington on April 1 6, 2010.
