          Here’s Tuesday’s Reading the Coverage:

          • Mike Chappell of the Indy Star writes about how quarterback Andrew Luck really doesn’t slide when he takes off running with the ball. It’s more like a roll to the ground."It was sneaky," backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said through a wry smile. "It wasn't really a slide and it wasn't really a dive. I thought he was trying to get away with the barrel-roll. I think he was trying to score. (If) nobody tags him down, he gets back up and runs. Watch the film. Genius."

          • Kevin Bowen of Colts.com highlights the roster moves the team made in his daily notebook. The Colts have to cut four more players to get down to the league-mandated 75 players by 4 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
