Epenesa did not practice Friday due to an ankle injury, Alex Brasky of SB Nation reports.
Scouting Report
He has the strength to be a successful NFL defensive end but must work on his technique in order to get the most out of his abilities. He has to be more of a physical force to make an impact and be more than just a rotational lineman. He can line up at end in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme, but has to show better play-to-play consistency in order to take the next step in his game.
Long Range Potential: Depth defensive end with promise.
