Seahawks TE Dissly (Achilles) likely out for season

In Will Dissly's case, no news about his left Achilles injury was bad news, with Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll saying on Monday that he suspects the second-year tight end is gone for the season.

"Really unfortunate that we lose Will Dissly, who has been a fantastic part of our team," Carroll told the media, adding that he had not received any updates about the injury. "Just a young guy, but he's made a big impression early on all of us, and we're going to miss the heck out of him as he recovers from an Achilles injury."

Dissly was running a pass route in the end zone Sunday in the second quarter of Seattle's come-from-behind win over the host Cleveland Browns when he made a cut and tumbled to the ground, clutching at his leg.

Dissly made no catches on Sunday. He has 23 grabs for the season, amassing 262 yards and a team-high four touchdown receptions.

The Seahawks are 5-1 and trail the first-place San Francisco 49ers (5-0) by a half-game in the NFC West. Seattle plays host to the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Dissly also sustained a major injury in as a rookie in 2018, tearing his right patellar tendon and playing in only four games. In 10 total NFL games, Dissly has 31 catches for 418 yards and six touchdowns.
