INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts already-struggling offensive line has suffered another blow, as the team plans to place starting right guard Jack Mewhort on injured reserve with a knee injury, coach Chuck Pagano announced Saturday.

"He's been battling through (since) training camp," Pagano said. "Tough deal. Hate it for Jack and his teammates hate it. Next man up. ... He's going to have to have another procedure. We're going to miss him."

Mewhort, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, was given one rest day each week during the regular season, but Pagano said his knee flared up while just standing and watching practice on Friday.
