ORLANDO, Fla. -- San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Chris Jones provided a nice boost to the defense last week and coach Chip Kelly said the third-year player has earned more playing time.Jones helped the 49ers hold Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi to just 45 yards on 18 carries in Jones first start and first game being active since being signed on Nov. 8 to replace injured defensive lineman Arik Armstead.San Francisco allowed 100-yard rushers for seven consecutive games prior to Sundays game, a 31-24 loss.I thought he did a really nice job, Kelly said. He played 27 snaps, was positive on 24 of the 27. I think his background playing with the Patriots, being in Miami, hes obviously well-coached. So, to get a player of that caliber when we lost Armstead, it was kind of a surprise to us but we were really pleasantly surprised with what he had done and hes earned playing time.Jones said the defense has continued to get better over the last few games as they have focused on stopping the run.Were doing some things different and I think its really helping out, Jones said. As you can see the defense, were getting better each week.The 49ers will face another tough running back Sunday in the Chicago Bears Jordan Howard. The rookie has rushed for 766 yards this season and is averaging 5.1 yards a carry. Jones said hes impressed with what hes seen from Howard and the Bears offensive line so far.For just being a rookie (Howard) definitely runs the ball really hard, Jones said. On their offensive line they have a lot of really well-coached guys, I know they have some guys that are down, but they have a lot of really well-coached guys up front and they know the scheme well.Jones, who started the season with the Dolphins, said he is excited to get another opportunity to play and hopes an improved run defense can lead the 49ers to some wins during the final stretch of the season.I love playing the game, Jones said. It was great to get out there Sunday for the first time in a few weeks and Im hoping that they keep me going. But Im going to do whatever I can to help the team prepare to win.Offensive lineman Joe Staley was impressed with Jones effort in practice leading up to his first start. He said that it should be a message to others on the team to continue to work hard and close the season strong.You can see that he wants it, Staley said. It wasnt a surprise that he went out there and played well. The way he practiced and prepared, he was ready for his opportunity when it came.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.Mike McGlinchey 49ers Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.

We knew Southern Miss would be ready for this game and we told our players to be ready for their best. After Fridays double overtime game we used our depth and it came up big for us. Im very pleased with how weve performed this weekend and this season, we did what we set out to do in non-conference play but were not done yet.Following a double-overtime win against South Alabama on Friday, the Bulldogs were on short rest coming into Sunday. The fresh Golden Eagles on the other hand had Friday off after their game was cancelled with Alcorn State.To begin the contest, MSU shook up the starting XI as junior McKenzie Adams, sophomore Courtney Tompkins and freshman McKenna de Graaf all earned their first starts of the season. The two clubs fought to a scoreless half in the first 45 minutes, as MSU held an 8-2 shot advantage.Five minutes into the second half, the Bulldogs got onto the board as Holmes sent a corner-kick style throw into the box. Her throw in passed over goalkeeper Brittany Taylors hands, as the ball hit the ground and bounced off a USM defenders leg into the goal.On the throw I knew I needed to get it deep in there, so I literally threw it as far as I could. I tried to throw it to California, Holmes said. USMs girls were unprepared and they put it in the back of the net, so I was very happy. I wanted to count it as my goal, but they said I coulddntWith the lead in hand, the Bulldogs outlasted the Golden Eagles as the two teams finished the game just as the sun was setting, which was key since the USM Soccer Complex doesnt have lights.dddddddddddd.Bulldogs Claim Winning Record In Non-Conference Play: The Maroon and White have earned four wins, while only losing twice in non-conference play. Only one win has come at home, while three have been earned the hard way on the road. The Bulldogs turned in an undefeated record in non-conference road play for the first time since 2009 (3-0).Tompkins Earns Clean Sheet: Pivotal in the win was the performance of MSUs defense, led by goalie Tompkins. The sophomore collected six saves as she earned her first start since Oct. 23, 2015 (LSU). The clean sheet was Tompkins second of her career, with her first coming against No. 20 Kentucky last season (3-0).Goal Scoring Rundown: MSU - (50:45) On a throw in from the corner kick area, senior Ari Holmes launched a ball that hit a USM player as it found the back of the net.
