MILWAUKEE -- Receiver Jordy Nelson is coming back from a knee injury. Running back Eddie Lacy slimmed down. Linebacker Clay Matthews is returning to a more familiar role.As for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he dropped the cheese from his diet.Its what amounts to offseason drama for the Green Bay Packers, who enter training camp looking to reclaim the NFC North title and win a second Super Bowl with Rodgers under center.The clocks ticking. Rodgers turns 33 in December. Hes in the prime of his career, and hes also thinking about the future.So after undergoing minor surgery following the playoffs to clean up a knee he hurt in high school, Rodgers adjusted his diet, including cutting out dairy. He said in June that he was at his lowest weight since about his second year in the league in 2007.Because it carries over not just in the offseason, but what youre eating the night before the game and what youre eating in the morning and the afternoon, if its a night game, Rodgers said. Just how that it affects your performance.Rodgers last season had his lowest passer rating (92.7) and completion percentage (60.7) since taking over as the starter in 2008. Not having Nelson all season hurt, as did Lacys subpar campaign.Minnesota ended Green Bays four-year reign atop the NFC North. The Packers still finished the regular season 10-6, beat the Redskins in a wild-card game and took Arizona to overtime on the road before losing in the divisional round.The division is better this year, but the Packers remain an NFC favorite, especially with Rodgers orchestrating the offense. Here are some other things to watch in training camp for Green Bay:JUST JORDY: To be safe, the Packers could proceed cautiously in camp with Nelson, who got hurt last August. Coach Mike McCarthy has raved about Nelsons work ethic in rehab, and Nelsons recovery, by all accounts, appears to be on schedule. One of the biggest problems with the offense last season was the lack of a deep threat to replace Nelson. If his return goes according to plan, his presence helps take pressure off Randall Cobb, along with the cavalry of younger, less experienced receivers vying for targets.WORKING OUT: After getting called out by McCarthy following the season for playing at too heavy of a weight, Lacy made a few changes in the offseason. He worked out with P90X fitness guru Tony Horton, mixed in basketball and boxing, and altered his diet. Lacy, listed on the roster at 5-foot-11, 234 pounds, looked slimmer during offseason workouts. The second-round draft pick in 2013 is entering the final year of his rookie deal.CLAYS DAY: Matthews played inside linebacker so well last season he made the Pro Bowl at that position for the first time. But thats not his best role, and McCarthy shifted Matthews back outside in the offseason, where he can focus on teeing off on quarterbacks. It is Matthews natural position.Hes going to get back there where he can put more pressure on the quarterback. I think its going to help out the team in a lot of different ways, said Julius Peppers, the Packers other veteran pass-rushing bookend.INSIDE MEN: Matthews move means the Packers will be looking for stability again at inside linebacker. It should be the most closely watched defensive competition of camp. Jake Ryan, a fourth-round pick out of Michigan last year, started late last season. Sam Barrington is coming back from a foot injury that forced him to miss most of 2015. The fiery Barrington helped shore up the run defense when he and Matthews took over inside for the last couple months of the 2014 season. Blake Martinez, a fourth-round rookie out of Stanford, received good reviews during offseason workouts and could also get a look during training camp.SPREADING IT AROUND: While Nelson is back, the Packers will also be looking to replace the targets that went to James Jones. The amicable veteran had rapport with Rodgers, but wasnt re-signed with a slew of younger receivers eager to take on expanded roles. Jeff Janis and Jared Abbrederis each played well against the Cardinals in the playoffs after Cobb went down with an injury. Davante Adams and Ty Montgomery are also looking to bounce back after dealing with injuries last year.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLDeMarcus Ware Youth Jersey . At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.

Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead.Rugby League has provided a refuge for Dylan Walker during his ongoing troubles, his best friend and Manly teammate Api Koroisau has revealed.Walker made an impressive early return from an off-field hand injury in Manlys win over Newcastle at Brookvale on Sunday, playing a starring role as the Sea Eagles kept their finals hopes intact.It is not the first time Walker has shown an innate ability to leave his problems behind once he steps out on the NRL field.Dylans a really strong kid, said Koroisau, who has shared a house with Walker on Sydneys northern beaches since the duo moved to Manly at the start of the season.Hes been through a lot and still come out the other end.I think one of Dylans best coping mechanisms is going out and playing footy after all the media and all the attention he receives.
