Seahawks' Dissly hurt again after promising start to year

Seahawks tight end Will Dissly, whose 2018 season ended after four games when he tore his right patellar tendon, was seriously hurt again, suffering an Achilles injury in Seattle's 32-28 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Dissly, who went down untouched in the second quarter, had been a reliable target for Russell Wilson during the Seahawks' first five games, with 23 receptions for 262 yards and four touchdowns. He did not record a catch on Sunday.

"It's serious. It's a big loss," coach Pete Carroll said. "He's been playing great football. It's a really devastating injury for him."

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was escorted to the locker room with a hip injury but returned to the game. Cleveland defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale sustained a head injury in the closing minutes.
