Resumes practicing in full Dissly (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Dissly began the week with a limited session Wednesday, as has been standard this season for load limit purposes. Upgrading to full practice reps Thursday serves as an indication that Dissly is fully on track to play his usual rotational role behind Greg Olsen during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Cardinals.

Limited again Wednesday Dissly (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact This has been the norm for Dissly this season, as the Seahawks look to manage the third-year tight end's workload after he suffered a torn Achilles in 2019. He should be good to go in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, and he'll look to surpass the 20-yard mark for the first time this season.

Hauls in first TD of 2020 Dissly caught a 19-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Vikings.

Impact Dissly was targeted just once during Sunday's NFC showdown, but he capitalized, beating a linebacker in the end zone and reeling in the ball for his first score since Week 4 of the 2019 season. It's excellent to see Dissly find paydirt after suffering two brutal injuries during his first two years in the league, but his opportunities are still quite scarce. Dissly played just 20 of 54 offensive snaps (37 percent) while Greg Olsen logged a 45 percent snap share. It's worth keeping an eye on Dissly in dynasty formats since Olsen's on a one-year deal, but his production likely will be too sporadic this year to count on him.

Ready for Week 5 Dissly (Achilles) doesnt' have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The 24-year-old was a limited practice participant to start the week due to the Achilles issue, but he'll continue to play through the injury. Dissly has caught all seven targets for 37 yards through four games.

Limited again Thursday Dissly (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Dissly's practice reps have been capped on occasion this season, but his status for game days has been cleared ahead of all four contests. Friday's injury report likely will do the same, but if it doesn't Jacob Hollister and Luke Willson could be poised for larger workloads behind starting tight end Greg Olsen on Sunday against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Puts in limited practice Dissly (Achilles) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dissly has been a regular on Seahawks injury reports this season with an Achilles issue, likely a residual of his season-ending injury from October 2019. His production has been next to none this season, as he's managed no more than two catches or 15 yards in any given game. Expect Dissly to continue working behind Greg Olsen on game days.

OCTOBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Registers 15 yards Dissly caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.

Impact This was a season-high in yardage for Dissly, who is coming off an Achilles tear and is lined up as the No. 2 tight end behind Greg Olsen. Dissly appears to be closing the gap in usage, as he played 43 percent of the snaps Sunday while Olsen logged a season-low 56 percent, the Seahawks are utilizing Dissly in more as a blocker than a pass catcher. That could change as he gets more comfortable on the field, but the upside is low considering the high target shares for Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Logs full practice Thursday Dissly (Achilles) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Dissly has had his practice reps capped on occasion this season, the result of his season-ending Achilles injury from October 2019. After logging a limited session Wednesday, he's back to full capacity as the Seahawks prepare to host the Dolphins on Sunday. While Dissly is a distant second to Greg Olsen in offensive snap share this year -- 42.8 versus 66.7 percent -- the former has yet to produce, hauling in all five targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns.

Practices with limitations Dissly (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Dissly was listed with the same injury ahead of the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the Cowboys, a game in which he logged 40 percent of the offensive snaps. The Seahawks are simply limiting his workload after the tight end tore his Achilles' tendon early last season. His injury status shouldn't concern fantasy managers too much, however, as he's recorded just five receptions for 22 yards through three games.

OCTOBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Registers just five yards Dissly caught both targets for five yards in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Dissly is the clear No. 2 TE behind Greg Olsen, as he's played about 40 percent of snaps through three games. The Seahawks shift to a pass-heavy approach hasn't benefited Dissly, though. He's caught all five targets this year for just 22 yards, and none of those have come in the red zone. Fantasy managers that were hoping for sleeper potential with Dissly can confidently jump ship.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Dissly (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Dallas, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Impact The Seahawks have limited Dissly's practice workload to help him work his way back from last year's Achilles tear. He was never in real danger of missing the upcoming game, but he's been working in a secondary role behind veteran tight end Greg Olsen.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Thursday Dissly (Achilles) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Dissly, who had previously been fully cleared ahead of Week 1, has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions. The third-year pro suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendon last October, so it's possible that the Seahawks are simply being cautious with his practice activity, but it's worrying to see him on the injury report in any capacity. Greg Olsen is already working as Seattle's top tight end, so he would get a slight bump in opportunities if Dissly were forced to handle less snaps or even miss any time.

Logs limited practice Wednesday Dissly (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is Dissly's first appearance on the injury report since being fully cleared ahead of Week 1. His presence on the report is slightly concerning considering he ruptured his Achilles' tendon Week 6 last season, as the injury could be flaring up despite successful rehab. If Dissly is forced to miss any time, Greg Olsen would get a slight bump as the clear No. 1 tight end, but the Seahawks could opt to use fewer less two-tight end sets. That could create more opportunities for depth wideouts David Moore and Freddie Swain to see extra snaps.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Largely uninvolved against Pats Dissly caught his only target for a nine-yard gain during Sunday's 35-30 win against New England.

Impact The 2018 fourth-round draft choice showed immediate promise as a rookie, racking up six catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns over his first two career outings. A knee injury ended that campaign after Dissly made four appearances, however. Last year he came out firing again, racking up five-plus catches and a touchdown in three of six appearances before suffering a season-ending Achilles injury. Perhaps slowed by the damage his body has taken over the past two seasons, Dissly is off to a quiet start with three catches and 17 yards through two weeks. Still, given that he's playing with a quarterback in Russell Wilson who has nearly as many touchdown passes (nine) as incompletions (11) thus far in 2020, one could certainly do worse in taking a flyer at tight end.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Snags two passes Dissly caught both targets for eight yards in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.

Impact When Dissly returned from a patellar tear last season, the Seahawks eased him into action, and they're following the same path this season. The third-year tight end played 25 of 62 offensive snaps (40 percent) and wasn't a fixture in the passing game, while Greg Olsen logged 41 snaps and hauled in four passes for 24 yards and a touchdown. Dissly could take some of Olsen's snaps if he stays healthy and proves he's still the tight end that posted 23-262-4 through five games last season.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for return Dissly (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Making his way back from last year's Achilles tear, Dissly was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, but he's apparently good to go for the season opener. It isn't clear he'll have a significant role on offense, considering the Seahawks gave Greg Olsen a one-year, $7 million contract this past offseason. That said, Dissly certainly looked like more than a role player prior to his season-ending injuries the past two years, producing 10.2 YPT and six touchdowns on 41 targets in 10 total games.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Dissly (Achilles) was limited during Thursday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Dissly wasn't listed on Wednesday's first injury report of the season, but he's still feeling residual effects of the Achilles' tear he sustained last October. With all of Greg Olsen, Jacob Hollister and Luke Willson in house, the Seahawks could opt to ease Dissly back into action even if he's cleared to suit up in Atlanta on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sidesteps injury report Dissly (Achilles) wasn't listed on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Dissly has been in recovery mode since tearing his left Achilles on Oct. 13 last season, his second serious injury in as many seasons as a pro. And for the second year in a row, he'll be available from the outset of the campaign. The Seahawks may opt to ease him into action Sunday in Atlanta, and he has healthy competition for snaps from fellow tight ends Greg Olsen, Jacob Hollister and Luke Willson. However, Dissly's nose for the end zone is evident, as he has six touchdowns on 31 catches across 10 career appearances.
