Dissly (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dissly's likely to endure his first absence of the season in Week 3 after catching all five of his targets for 52 yards across Seattle's first two games. Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson should see the majority of snaps at tight end against the Panthers, though Brady Russell could also mix in if Dissly sits.

Dissly (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The tight end has now sat out both of the Seahawks' first two Week 3 practices. If Dissly ends up sitting out Sunday versus Carolina, Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson will split tight end duties. Dissly has reeled in all five of his targets for 52 scoreless yards through two games.

Dissly didn't take part in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dissly has been a regular part of Seattle's passing game this season, gathering in all five targets for 52 yards through two games while earning snap shares of 30 percent Week 1 and 55 percent Week 2. With a shoulder injury in tow, his status will be one to monitor as the week goes to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game versus the Panthers. Fellow tight end Noah Fant (ribs) also showed up on Wednesday's injury report, but he was listed as a full participant.

Dissly caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Dissly played just 14 offensive snaps, which was fewer than both Noah Fant (25) and Colby Parkinson (21). If the Seahawks can establish the run game, Dissly will handle more offensive reps because of his blocking abilities. However, he won't provide much fantasy value unless he finds the end zone.

Dissly caught his lone target for eight yards in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Dissly endured another offseason of rehab, as he suffered a knee injury late in the 2022 season, although he fortunately avoided surgery this time around. This was his first catch of the preseason. He's not expected to be a consistent fantasy contributor this season, as he typically blocks more than fellow tight ends Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson.

Dissly (knee) has been participating in the Seahawks' mandatory minicamp this week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dissly ended the 2022 campaign on injured reserve with a knee injury, but he avoided surgery and appears to have moved past the issue this offseason. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said at the NFL Combine that Dissly would be ready for training camp, so the tight end is a bit ahead of schedule and should be full go for Week 1. The 2018 fourth-round pick signed a three-year, $24 million extension with Seattle last offseason and caught at least one pass in each of his 15 appearances last year, totaling 34 receptions on 38 targets for 349 yards and three scores.

Dissly (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Pete Carroll said at this week's NFL Scouting Combine that Dissly "damaged a bone on the outside of his knee" but won't need surgery for the issue, and that the tight end should be good to go for training camp. Carroll said that Dissly is "doing really well and making progress," which is positive news considering the unusual nature of his injury. Barring any setbacks, Dissly appears on track for the start of the 2023 campaign.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Dissly (knee) won't need surgery and should be ready for the start of 2023, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dissly caught 34 passes for 349 yards and three scores across 15 regular-season games before ending the 2022 campaign on IR due to a knee contusion. He opted to avoid surgery initially, and it appears the issue is healing well on its own. While Carroll saying the tight end will be ready for the 2023 campaign is certainly encouraging, it's still possible Dissly is sidelined or limited throughout offseason work.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dissly will wait a few months to see if his knee injury will heal without surgery, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dissly is avoiding surgery for now, but it sounds like it may still be in the cards if the tight end's knee doesn't progress well enough early in the offseason. The fifth-year tight end caught 34 receptions for 349 yards and three touchdowns across 15 regular-season games, but he ended the campaign on injured reserve with what was initially described as a knee contusion. If Dissly ultimately has to undergo offseason surgery, it may impact his availability for the start of the 2023 campaign, but there likely won't be another update on his status for awhile.

The Seahawks are still determining whether Dissly will require surgery to repair his knee injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact nature of Dissly's injury is unclear, as it was termed a contusion by Pete Carroll. However, Dissly was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, and the possibility of surgery suggests that the issue could be more severe. He served among a rotation of options at tight end with Seattle this season, and he managed 34 receptions for 349 yards and three touchdowns across 15 games.
