Bills' A.J. Epenesa: Good to go
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 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 afterward. Either way, he'll need to clear league concussion protocol by Sunday in order to suit up at Miami in Week 10.

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.

Bills' A.J. Epenesa: Dealing with ankle issue
Epenesa did not practice Friday due to an ankle injury, Alex Brasky of SB Nation reports.
Epenesa was seen on the sidelines with a light compression wrap. The injury doesn't appear to be severe, but given it's training camp, the Bills will likely play things conservatively to avoid aggravating the injury. Epenesa is coming off a career year in 2024, starting in 13 of 17 regular-season games while tallying 39 tackles (23 solo), including 6.0 sacks, two pass defenses and two forced fumbles.
