Coston on IR

[HarveyWallbangers]

Coston was better than Spitz, that's why he kept getting chances..

Actually, Coston was better than Colledge. Maybe. Spitz had settled into full-time starting duty, and Coston and Colledge were battling for the other spot.

Jolly, Cole and Coston on IR. Not good.

Hell of alot better than Favre, Barnett and Kampman

Coston was a marginal player we will be fine it is Spitz that worries me.

Coston was better than Spitz, that's why he kept getting chances.. The whole offensive line has been un-settled the entire year..

Imagine what could've been accomplished if they had 5 "cast in stone" starters the whole year

Imagine what we could accomplish this year if we had the 2003 o-line with this team.

Uh, the team went 13-3 this year, people.

If they had 5 "cast in stone" starters this year, Favre would have gotten killed because Colledge was inadequate in protecting him. Things had to get moved around.

I guess I meant to say the same 5 starters all year, ala what Pacfn in Md suggested..

I don't think Coston was the player that was either going to make or break the season. He got time because other faltered, not because he all of sudden became a dominate player.

Re: Coston on IR

Guard Junius Coston won't be part of the Packers' playoff run. The team placed him on season-ending injured reserve today and promoted tackle Orrin Thompson from the practice squad.

Coston sustained a strained calf in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions. His injury means Daryn Colledge is virtually assured of starting at left guard in the Jan. 12 divisional playoff game.

The question now is who will be the right guard: Jason Spitz or Tony Moll. Spitz sustained a quad injury against the Lions though it was not believed to be as serious as Coston's injury. Moll finished the game at right guard, but the Packers were holding out hope Spitz will recover quickly.

Coston started seven games this season and appeared in 13. He missed time during the season due to an ankle injury.

Thompson spent four weeks on the Packers' active roster earlier this season.

The Packers return to practice on Friday morning after taking four days off.

Sure hate losing that man.

He's just a guy, but there is a lack of news this week
