Barbre has been fairly well spoken of by the staff.
Barbre played extensively in the last game.
Coston has been hurt off and on all year, and was again.
Even though his injury was said to be "a couple weeks" Coston goes on IR.
I think this means they were pleased with what they saw from Barbre. I think they feel a healthy Barbre is better than a dinged up Coston, who is still slowed by a bum ankle. If they weren't pleased with Barbre, they would not have put Coston on IR if he had the possibility of being ready as a backup for the NFC Championship or Super Bowl weekends. He was their third guard.
