Epenesa (pectoral) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Epenesa got in a round of limited practices this week. The sixth-year edge rusher has logged just under 40 percent of the defensive snaps for Buffalo through three games and has three tackles (three solo), one QB hit and one fumble recovery.

Oliver (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Oliver hasn't played since the Week 1 opener against the Ravens. DaQuan Jones, T.J. Sanders, Zion Logue and Deone Walker soaked up most of the defensive snaps on the interior of Buffalo's defensive line last Thursday night against Miami.

Croskey-Merritt (knee) was present for Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Croskey-Merritt was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practices, so his presence at Friday's session is a step in the right direction. Either way, the Commanders' upcoming injury report will reveal both the running back's participation level, as well as his game status for Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons.

Milano (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Milano was injured in Week 2 against the Jets and will miss his second straight contest. Terrel Bernard, Dorian Williams and Shaq Thompson figure to handle linebacker duties again without Milano.

Daniels (knee) wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Friday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

After being limited Wednesday and Thursday, Daniels' absence from the start of Friday's session is certainly of note. If he ends up being ruled out by the Commanders on Friday or made inactive Sunday against the Falcons, Marcus Mariota would be in line to draw the Week 4 start at QB for the team.

McLaurin (quadriceps) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

After being a non-participant in Wednesday and Thursday's sessions, McLaurin's apparent absence from Friday's practice doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Falcons. Added clarity with regard to the wideout's Week 4 status will arrive via the Commanders' upcoming injury report, which will arrive later Friday.

Arroyo caught two of four targets for 44 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.

Arroyo gained 32 yards on one reception, and he was targeted in the end zone in the second quarter, too. The rookie played 55 percent of the offensive snaps, and while he's still the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner, Arroyo's snap counts and usage are rising. He'll look to continue his ascent in Week 5 against the Buccaneers.

Holani returned three kicks for 74 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.

Holani didn't play at all on offense with both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet in the lineup. Unless one of the two top running backs gets hurt, Holani's usage should remain strictly on special teams moving forward.

Young wasn't targeted in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals. He returned one kick for 29 yards.

Young also recorded three solo tackles on special teams. He played just two offensive snaps, and it appears he'll only handle a serious amount of offensive work if injuries stack up or the Seahawks are in a blowout game.

Bobo caught his lone target for 17 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.

Bobo played just 10 offensive snaps (15 percent), as the Seahawks frequently utilized two tight-end sets, leaving little work for their No. 4 wide receiver. This was Bobo's first catch of the season. He remains a dependable real-life option for the Seahawks because of his run-blocking ability, but his fantasy upside remains negligible.
