INDIANAPOLIS -- Coach Chuck Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson are in a real jam.By Saturday, the Indianapolis Colts must compile a 53-man active roster -- something that has become complicated by a long list of short-term injuries.It makes it tricky, Pagano said Monday. We are going to have to do a really good job. Ryan will do a great job. Jimmy Raye III, the personnel group and coaches will all get together, and well make the appropriate decisions based on all of those components.Usually, the Colts head into cut down weekend protecting their starters and looking to fill a certain number of spots at each position.Not this time.Indy lacks depth along the offensive and defensive lines and in the secondary, and they cant count on getting relief from the NFLs rules.Only one player can be designated for return from injured reserve, and the only Colts player eligible for the physically unable to perform list is safety Clayton Geathers.Just how much of a toll have the injuries taken on the Colts depth chart?They opened Saturdays game with two rookies and a second-year player starting along the offensive line and with three key players -- right tackle Joe Reitz (back), backup guard Hugh Thornton (ankle) and versatile swingman Joe Haeg (ankle) -- all on the sideline. When left guard Jack Mewhort left during the first half, things got even worse.Initially, the fear was Mewhort had sustained a torn ACL, which would have ended his season.Instead, the MRI came back negative, limiting Mewhorts absence to 2 to 4 weeks.But without those four, Indys offensive line again struggled to protect Andrew Luck or create openings for the running game, causing consternation for fans and coaches as the regular-season opener approaches.Im not going to lie to you and tell you that everything is going to be OK, Pagano said. We have to execute, we have to communicate, we have to make plays and we have to put the ball in the end zone.Defensively, things may be even worse.Indy was missing four of its top five cornerbacks, including both starters, against Philadelphia and lost No. 5 when Darius Butler left in the first quarter with an injured ankle. Butler is listed day to day.The defensive line has been without defensive end Kendall Langford (knee surgery) since early this month. Defensive tackle Henry Anderson, who is recovering from ACL surgery, was just activated off the PUP list last week. Pagano isnt sure if either will be available for the Sept. 11 season opener against Detroit.Indy also will be without defensive tackle Art Jones for the first four games because of a suspension for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances.Jones wont count against the roster limit until he returns in early October.But if the Colts keep everyone active, they could start the season with nearly a dozen guys unable to play Sept. 11 against Detroit.The combination means Thursday nights usually meaningless preseason finale at Cincinnati carries much more significance for everybody.As Pagano and Grigson try to plug holes, they will also be on the lookout for players who can start immediately -- even if they start out on the Colts practice squad.I think you have to look at all the injured players, Pagano said, and know that its going to affect roster mechanics in one way or another.Game notes After releasing 10 players Sunday, the Colts cut four more players Monday. Indy waived receiver Danny Anthrop, tackle Keith Lumpkin and running back Trey Williams and released tight end Konrad Reuland. ... Running back Stevan Ridley practiced with the Colts for the first time Monday. He was signed Sunday. ...

NEWTON, Iowa -- Rookie Erik Jones has made winning look easy in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.Jones success is even more remarkable given that hes had to race without his father, who died of cancer just a month ago.Jones retook the lead from Ty Dillon with 16 laps to go and won Saturday night at Iowa Speedway for his third victory of the season.Jones led a race-high 154 of 250 laps, but it took a late inside move for Jones to overcome Dillon for his first win since his father Dave died in June at just 53.Its special for me to get back into Victory Lane without him. I know he was riding along with us, and its hard not to think that this one was for him, Jones said. I know hes definitely smiling down on us.Brad Keselowski was the only Sprint Cup driver in the field, leaving Iowa wide-open for an Xfinity regular to snatch a victory. But Jones remains the only series driver with more than one of those in 2016.Dillon, seeking his first victory since Indianapolis in 2014, finished second. Hes winless in 66 races.I wanted to win so bad and that was all we had, Dillon said. Man, my heart has been broken every race since Indy. I want to get in Victory Lane again. Were close. Its just that we need to get a little bit better.Elliott Sadler was third, followed by Brennan Poole and Dakoda Armstrong.Keselowski, who will start seventh Sunday in Pocono in Pennsylvania in the Cup race, was eighth.Daniel Suarez, the series leadeer entering the race, failed to finish because of damage to the No.dddddddddddd 19 car.Jones came to Iowa with the comfort of knowing that hes already locked into the inaugural Xfinity Chase later this season.It was clear from the opening lap that the No. 20 car would be one the field would be chasing.Suarez won his second pole of the season earlier Saturday. But Jones grabbed the lead before the end of the first turn and dominated the first half of the race.Three cautions within the space of 10 laps threatened to shake thing up, but Jones quickly jumped back ahead.Jones couldnt win all the restarts though, as Dillon caught him with a quick pit stop about 100 laps before the finish. Dillon continued to pad his lead as the laps progressed, but the stress Dillon put on his car proved to be overwhelming.I did all I could I to keep him behind me, and it just wore my stuff out a little more than I needed to, Dillon said.Jones margin of victory was nearly four seconds -- and the rest of the field finished at least 10 seconds behind him.I was really working as hard as I could to get around Ty. Man, it was tough, said Jones, who was 27th in the June race at Iowa. I feel like we deserved to win when he came here earlier this year. We really had a fast car. Its nice to get some redemption.
