INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Lucks protectors are now taking their own hits. Cheap Seahawks Jerseys . Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Sunday that left tackle Anthony Castonzo will not play in the preseason finale after an MRI confirmed Castonzo has a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. Castonzo was injured on the opening series of Saturday nights 27-6 victory over Cleveland and did not return. Right guard Mike McGlynn did not play Saturday after bruising his knee during practice last week. Castonzo is listed as day-to-day, and Pagano said Sunday he hopes both would be ready for the Sept. 8 opener against Oakland. "The MRI was pretty much negative. It wasnt as bad as anybody anticipated," Pagano said, discussing Castonzos prognosis during a conference call. "You never want to lose anybody, and particularly the guy whos protecting the blind side of your quarterback." Joe Reitz will replace Castonzo in the lineup at Cincinnati. Reitz started nine games in 2011 and eight last season, all with the Colts, after being cut by the Ravens in 2010. Protecting Luck was Indys top off-season priority after yielding 41 sacks and dozens more hits last season. General manager Ryan Grigson signed right tackle Gosder Cherilus and left guard Donald Thomas in the first hours of free agency -- an effort to shore up Lucks protection. Grigson also drafted two offensive linemen, Hugh Thornton and Khaled Holmes, in the third and fourth rounds, respectively. While Cherilus and Thomas have been solid, the Colts arent quite sure what they can expect from their injured rookies. Holmes sprained his right ankle on the fourth day of training camp and hasnt practiced or played since then. Thornton sprained his right ankle a few days before training camp opened, returned to practice last week and made his preseason debut Saturday. "He knocked off a little bit of rust, but he looked pretty good in there in both the run and the pass game," Pagano said. The offensive line isnt the only spot where the Colts are hurting. Indys top two tight ends Dwayne Allen (right foot) and Coby Fleener (right knee) sat out against Cleveland, and backup receiver Nathan Palmer left late in the game with a knee injury. Pagano said an MRI confirmed Palmer also has a sprained MCL and is likely to miss four to six weeks -- a diagnosis that could jeopardize his ability to make the 53-man active roster. The Colts have already begun the cut-down process. On Sunday, they waived 11 players and put backup linebacker Lawrence Sidbury on injured reserve, trimming the 90-man roster to 78. They must be down to 75 by Tuesday. Sidbury signed on the first day of free agency, a move aimed at helping special teams and bolstering the defence. But he hurt his shoulder in last weeks win over the Giants and got a second opinion this past week. Pagano said Sunday he will get another opinion and likely will have surgery. The Colts also waived cornerbacks Johnny Adams and Allen Chapman, offensive linemen Danous Estenor and Rick Schmeig, defensive tackle Kellen Heard, punter-kicker Brandon McManus, running back Davin Meggett, linebacker C.O. Prime and safety Ashante Williams. Receiver Maurice Williams was waived with an injury settlement. Cornerback Teddy Williams was waived-injured and will revert to Indys injured reserve if he clears waivers.

BOSTON -- Jordan Crawford says the young Boston Celtics have a few things to learn about finishing out close games. Crawford took over the role of teacher Tuesday night, scoring 15 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter to help the Celtics hold off the Milwaukee Bucks 108-100. "Weve just got to learn to stay focused and pull out these wins -- grind them out," said Crawford, who was 5 for 5 from the field in the fourth, including three 3-pointers. Jeff Green added 18 points and Brandon Bass added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Celtics, who were coming off a 92-85 loss to the Bucks on Saturday in Milwaukee. Of Milwaukees three wins this season, two have come against Boston and the Celtics avoided having the total reach three by holding off the Bucks down the stretch. "We moved the ball side to side and inside-out way better than we did Saturday," coach Brad Stevens said. "Maybe thats a little bit of karma for why the shots went in." Avery Bradley scored 15 and Jared Sullinger finished with 12 points as all five starters scored in double figures for Boston, which had lost two of three. The Bucks had just snapped an 11-game losing streak by beating the Celtics on Saturday in Milwaukee, but couldnt quite rally from a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter. "I think were getting a little better. They still made a run and made it close," Crawford said. O.J. Mayo scored 19, and Brandon Knight had 15 points and six assists for Milwaukee. Khris Middleton added 14 points for the Bucks, who were outrebounded by the Celtics 40-33. The win put the Celtics at least in a temporary tie for first place with Toronto, which played later Tuesday at Golden State. But in the Atlantic Division, which currently doesnt have a team with a winning record, the standings arent all that impressive. "Were 8-12. Its not likee were lighting the world on fire," Stevens said. Wholesale Seattle Seahawks Jerseys. The Celtics led by as many as 15 points and had a 13-point lead in the final period cut to three twice before holding on for the win. "I felt we were right there. They just made the tough shots," Milwaukee coach Larry Drew said. "They made the plays down the stretch and we did not." Giannis Antetokounm pulled Milwaukee within 69-65 with an alley-oop dunk to open the fourth quarter. Crawford answered for Boston with a 3-pointer, starting the Celtics on a 15-6 run that nearly put a comeback out of reach for Milwaukee. Lee followed his 3-pointer with a jumper to put the Celtics up 81-71, then Crawford hit a 3-pointer to put Boston up 84-71 with 7:51 left. The Bucks got back in it with a 13-4 run, pulling within 90-87 on a pair of free throws by John Henson, then made another charge late in the period for a close finish. Knights 3-pointer with 1:10 remaining cut Bostons lead to 99-96, but Sullinger answered at the other end, beating the shot clock with a jumper that put Boston back up 101-96. Stevens said he put Sullinger in a bad position with the play, but the young forward beat a double-team and got the shot when the Celtics needed it. "Its a good player making a good play and bailing out a bad coach," Stevens said. Knight missed everything on another 3-point attempt for Milwaukee and the Celtics held on to win it.
