Dickson (knee) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite reports indicating Dickson was ready to play, the Seahawks have yet to actually activate their veteran tight end, saving the potential roster move until Sunday. Dickson is unlikely to jump ahead of Luke Willson (ribs) or Jacob Hollister on the depth chart were he to return, particularly after a two-touchdown outing from Hollister last week.

Coach Pete Carroll said Dickson (knee) is ready to play in Monday's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickson returned to practice last Wednesday but wasn't removed from injured reserve before Sunday's 40-34 win over Tampa Bay. It sounds like he'll come off IR this week, though he won't necessarily have a significant role in the Seattle offense. Luke Willson's progress recovering from a rib injury will also be a factor.

Dickson (knee) was not activated off injured reserve ahead of Saturday's deadline and is not eligible to play Sunday against Tampa Bay, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickson made his official return to practice Wednesday but was not activated to the 53-man roster ahead of Saturday's 4 PM ET deadline to do so. Seattle will instead roll with a combination of Luke Willson and Jacob Hollister at tight end for another game.

Dickson (knee) was designated to return off injured reserve and practiced Wednesday, Greg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Pete Carroll said last week he expected Dickson to return to practice this week and play Sunday against the Buccaneers, and the first part of his expectation now has come true. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since undergoing knee surgery in August, so there's no guarantee he'll be able to go full speed immediately. The Seahawks will have until Saturday at 4:00 p.m. EDT to decide whether to activate Dickson for Sunday's game.

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed that he expects Dickson (knee) to resume practicing next Wednesday in preparation for his season debut Week 9 against the Buccaneers, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports. "Ed is working really well, he's going to come back next week," Carroll said. "I think next week is his first chance back. He's practicing next week. Based on what I'm seeing, he's going to be practicing to play. That's pretty optimistic right now."

EDGE Analysis

Carroll's comments regarding his players' injuries haven't historically been especially reliable, but at the very least, the Seahawks seem adamant that Dickson will be one of the two players the team brings back from injured reserve this season. Dickson won't be officially designated for a return until he returns to practice, at which point the Seahawks would have up to 21 days to evaluate him for reinstatement to the 53-man roster. Assuming Dickson hits no snags in his recovery from knee surgery, he may only need one week of practice before providing the Seahawks with some reinforcement at tight end following the season-ending injury to top option Will Dissly (Achilles). Dickson caught 12 passes for 143 yards and three scores in his 10 games with Seattle in 2018.

Dickson (knee) will be eligible to return from injured reserve in two weeks, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickson is recovering from knee surgery undergone in August. With Will Dissly (Achilles) having suffered a significant injury during Sunday's win over the Browns, Dickson could play a notable role in Seattle's offense when healthy.

Coach Pete Carroll is "concerned" Dickson may not be healthy to begin practicing in three weeks, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickson is currently on injured reserve and is eligible to begin practicing after Week 6, but he may be progressing slower than expected, although Carroll mentioned there hasn't been any setbacks. The veteran tight end will have a reserve role behind Will Dissly if he can return, and the earliest game will be Week 9 versus the Buccaneers.

Dickson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Pete Carroll said before the third preseason contest that Dickson was still "a ways away" from being ready to return, so his placement on IR isn't a major surprise. The move came after Saturday's roster deadline, so the 32-year-old will be eligible to be activated after eight games.

Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Dickson (knee) is "still a ways" from retaking the field, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickson is in line to miss the entire preseason, and appears a lock to miss regular-season time as he works his way back from knee surgery. Will Dissly and Nick Vannett will operate as Seattle's top options at tight end, and it remains to be seen what sort of role Dickson will play when back in action.

Dickson underwent knee surgery Wednesday and is expected to miss four to five weeks, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickson has been perpetually injured since joining the Seahawks in free agency last season. He now stands to miss the entire preseason, with a recovery timeline that will almost certainly stretch into the regular season. Will Dissly (knee) and Nick Vannett stand to benefit from increased reps in Dickson's absence.
