Epenesa (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Epenesa "should be fine" after he missed Thursday's practice due to a foot injury. Now fully healthy, Epenesa is likely to play an expanded role on the Bills' defensive line in Week 14, as Joey Bosa (hamstring) is in line to miss his first game of the season.

Epenesa (foot) did not practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Epenesa was a new addition to Thursday's injury report with a foot injury he likely suffered during Wednesday's session. With the potential absence of Joey Bosa (hamstring) looming as well, Epenesa's absence would pose a significant depth issue at defensive end for the Bills. If neither player can suit up Sunday, Javon Solomon will be the lone option opposite Greg Rousseau on the edge. With such a depleted room, practice squad members Shaq Lawson, Andre Jones, and Morgan Fox are candidates for Week 14 elevation.

Epenesa (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers. Epenesa managed to practice in full the entire week and has been cleansed of injury designation, indicating he was able to clear the league's concussion protocol and is ready to play in Sunday's contest. Before missing the Week 10 loss to the Dolphins, the 27-year-old participated in eight games this season, where he accumulated 15 tackles (10 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two passes defensed, one interception and one fumble recovery. With Epenesa's return, defensive end Javon Solomon will likely see diminished snaps as a rotational end.

Epenesa (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Epenesa missed Buffalo's Week 10 loss to Miami with a concussion. While it's encouraging that he returned to practice, it remains unclear whether he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Epenesa will need to take that final step before being cleared for a Week 11 matchup against Tampa Bay.

Epenesa (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Dolphins, head coach Sean McDermott revealed Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Epenesa hasn't participated in practice throughout the week and will endure his first absence of the season Sunday. The rotational pass rusher has 2.5 sacks this season. Epenesa will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have a chance to play in Week 11 against the Buccaneers.
