Defensive end Datone Jones is the latest to make the switch, defensive coordinator Dom Capers confirmed this week.
“He’s going to swing in both ways,” Capers said. “He’ll work with (defensive line coach Mike Trgovac) on certain things and he’ll work with (linebackers coach Winston Moss) on other things. We’re trying to develop that. Probably last week was the first step. We thought the week before we probably wanted to give Datone a few more reps, try to round out the reps because he was a little low a week before.”
Jones played a season-high 30 snaps against the Lions, often at outside linebacker opposite Nick Perry.
