INJURIES

DNP with foot Epenesa (foot) did not practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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 will mean 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.

Good to go Epenesa (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Impact 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.

Impact Epenesa missed Buffalo's Week 10 loss to Miami with a concussion.

Missing practice with concussion Epenesa (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Impact Epenesa was quiet over 22 defensive snaps in Week 9 versus the Chiefs, but it's not clear if he suffered the concussion during that contest or sometime afterwards. Either way, he'll need to clear league concussion protocol by Sunday in order to suit up at Miami in Week 10.

Impact Epenesa has now racked up 15 tackles (10 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two passes defensed, including one interception, and one fumble recovery across seven regular-season appearances. He'll have a more difficult time bringing down the opposing quarterback against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' reliable O-line in Week 9, though that could change if standout guard Trey Smith (back) is unable to suit up for Kansas City.
