Dissly (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
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' Will Dissly: Won't need surgery
Rotowire
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.
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.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Avoiding surgery for now
Rotowire
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.
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.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: May require surgery
Rotowire
The Seahawks are still determining whether Dissly will require surgery to repair his knee injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
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.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Hits IR with knee contusion
Rotowire
Seattle placed Dissly on injured reserve Tuesday with an injury head coach Pete Carroll has labeled as a knee contusion, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Though Dissly's injury doesn't sound especially serious, his 2022 campaign will come to an end unless the Seahawks secure a playoff spot and make an improbable run to the NFC Championship Game. The 26-year-old appeared in 15 games this season, recording 34 receptions for 349 yards and three touchdowns on 38 targets. Dissly's absence for the final two games should free up more snaps for Colby Parkinson, who steps in as Seattle's No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Getting knee checked out
Rotowire
Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dissly banged his knee during Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs and is set to undergo further testing, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The knee issue may in part explain why Dissly logged just 38 percent of the snaps on offense -- his lowest share of the season -- Week 16 to finish the day with a 19-yard reception on his lone target. Dissly's upcoming tests should provide a clearer picture of his injury while also helping to clarify whether he'll be available for the Seahawks' Week 17 matchup with the Jets.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Suiting up in Week 14
Rotowire
Dissly (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Panthers.
Dissly's practice reps were managed during Week 14 prep due to a calf injury, as he followed an absence Wednesday with back-to-back limited showings to wrap it up before the Seahawks gave him a questionable designation. Coach Pete Carroll noted Friday that Dissly would be ready to play Sunday, according to John Boyle of the team's official site, and that has come to fruition. Dissly will continue to split TE reps with Noah Fant, an arrangement that has amounted to a 30-297-3 line on 33 targets for the former in 12 games this season.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: On track to play Week 14
Rotowire
Dissly (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, though head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that the tight end is ready to play this weekend, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dissly is taking an injury designation into the weekend after he failed to practice Wednesday before returning to the field as a limited participant Thursday and Friday, but it sounds like the restrictions he faced were mostly for precautionary reasons. Assuming he avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Dissly should continue to work in a timeshare at tight end with Noah Fant. Though Fant held the edge in playing time in last week's win over the Rams, Dissly was still on the field for 54 percent of the offensive snaps and finished with two catches for 22 yards on two targets.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Gets Week 14 questionable tag
Rotowire
Dissly (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dissly will carry an injury designation into the weekend after he failed to practice Wednesday before upgrading to a limited showing Thursday. Since he was able to conclude Week 14 prep on the practice field, Dissly would seem to have a good chance at playing this weekend, but an official ruling on his status won't come until Seattle unveils its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Dissly can't go Sunday, Noah Fant would have a clear path to the No. 1 tight end role after splitting reps with Dissly for much of the season.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Logs limited session Thursday
Rotowire
Dissly (calf) was a limited participant in the Seahawks' practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Dissly popped up with a calf issue on Seattle's injury report Wednesday, thus failing to practice for the first time this season. It's encouraging to see the 26-year-old was able to increase his activity the following day. However, his status on Friday's final injury report will provide a better outlook for his availability heading into Sunday against Carolina. Dissly has seen slightly fewer targets (33) than fellow tight end Noah Fant (46) over 12 games this season, and these two should strike a similar balance when both are available moving forward.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Sits out practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Dissly was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dissly hasn't had any prior practice limitations this season and earns better than 50 percent of the snaps most weeks, resulting in between one and four catches per game through 12 contests. Overall, he has a modest 30-297-3 receiving line on 33 targets. Considering Dissly wasn't able to take part in drills to kick off this week, his status will be watched as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Held to 17 yards
Rotowire
Dissly caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Dissly logged 48 of 65 offensive snaps (74 percent) while Noah Fant trailed closely behind with 40 snaps. Fant finished with three catches for 34 yards. Dissly hasn't scored since Week 4, and he has yet to record more than 45 yards in a game this year.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Brings in two passes
Rotowire
Dissly caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
Dissly handled a season-low 21 percent of the offensive snaps, which wasn't far behind Noah Fant (26). The Seahawks frequently utilize two tight-end sets, but they limited their tight-end usage because they were trailing most of the game. Regardless, fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for Dissly on a weekly basis, as he has put up a 26-258-3 line through 10 games.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Let's hope Dissly scores his fourth touchdown of the season against the Cardinals in Week 6, and Arizona has been a favorable matchup for opposing tight ends this year. The Cardinals are No. 2 in Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and four tight ends have scored at least 10 PPR points against Arizona. Dissly has three touchdowns on the season, and he will hopefully find the end zone this week in a favorable matchup. He's worth using as a streamer in deeper formats.

Dissly has yet to catch more than three passes in a game. He has registered 14 catches for 137 yards and three touchdowns through five weeks and has been been out-snapping fellow tight end Noah Fant. Dissly will be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option as long as his usage stays at this level.

All Dissly does is score touchdowns. He has three touchdowns in four games this season, and he's starting to look like a decent streaming option in deeper leagues. In his past two games against Atlanta and Detroit, Dissly has seven catches for 73 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets. He's not likely to become a target hog, but he also could continue to be a good red-zone option for Geno Smith. Dissly is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB heading into Week 5 at the Saints.

Seahawks' Will Dissly: Another touchdown in win
Rotowire
Dissly brought in all four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Dissly got open down the seam for a 17-yard scoring grab in the first quarter to ignite the scoring on a prolific afternoon both teams' offenses. Dissly has shown some chemistry early with Geno Smith, now having recorded at least three catches and a touchdown grab in three of the first four games of the season. The fifth-year veteran could have another solid role in a Week 5 road battle against a Saints team that typically features strong cornerback play, which tends to sometimes funnel action toward tight ends.
