Dissly (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Broncos. Dissly will miss a second consecutive game due to this injury. Hayden Hurst (hip) is questionable and has a chance to return from IR, while Stone Smartt could be in line to maintain an elevated role in Dissly's absence. Dissly's next chance to take the field will be Dec. 28 against the Patriots.
Dissly (shoulder) did not participate in practice Tuesday. Dissly was also tagged as DNP on Monday, though that was a walkthrough session. The tight end hurt his shoulder Week 14 against Kansas City and missed this past Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers. If he's out again Thursday, which is a likely scenario, Stone Smartt would likely be in line for another start, though Los Angeles could also be getting back Hayden Hurt (hip) this week. Hurst remains on IR, but he was designated to return Monday and logged a full practice Tuesday.
Dissly (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Dissly was injured Week 14 against the Chiefs and missed this past Sunday's loss to the Bucs. He's viewed as "week-to-week," and now the Chargers have a short week ahead of a Thursday night game against the division-rival Broncos. With Dissly out versus Tampa Bay, Stone Smartt played 67 percent of the offensive snaps and posted a useful 5-50-0 line on six targets, though he also lost a fumble.
Dissly (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs. Dissly was injured last week against the Chiefs, but coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday that he doesn't envision Dissly needing to go to injured reserve, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. With Dissly sidelined, Stone Smartt is expected to handle TE1 duties for the Chargers. Following Dissly's injury versus Kansas City, Smartt was more involved in the pass game and finished with three catches for 54 yards on three targets.
Dissly is expected to miss "a couple of weeks" due to the shoulder injury he suffered Sunday against Kansas City, but he's not likely to be placed on injured reserve, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports. Dissly was hurt on the final play -- a 15-yard catch -- of the first half against the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, and he was unable to return to the contest. Subsequent evaluation has revealed an injury that is likely to sideline the tight end multiple weeks, but given Schultz's report that Dissly isn't expected to land on IR, there's a good chance he'll be able to return to action before the end of the regular season. While Dissly is out of action, Stone Smartt is in line to move into a starting role, while Tucker Fisk should see increased work as well.
Dissly (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Dissly got hurt on a 15-yard catch on the final play of the first half and didn't rejoin his teammates on the field to begin the second half. He caught both of his targets for 19 yards prior to the injury. More opportunities will be available for Tucker Fisk and Stone Smartt if Dissly is unable to return.
Dissly did not catch his lone target in the 17-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday. The Chargers were content letting the Falcons beat themselves benefitting significantly from Kirk Cousins' four interceptions. As a result, the offense overall was sluggish and ineffective. Quarterback Justin Herbert converted nine of his 16 pass completions to rookie Ladd McConkey, but the passing attack was otherwise a non factor. It's possible that the absence of J.K. Dobbins (knee) could have a dramatic difference on the rushing attack and therefore any threat of the play action, but it's hard to have any concrete takeaways when Los Angeles wasn't forced to take much action.
Dissly (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta. Dissly was a full practice participant Friday, upgrading from limited participation Thursday and an absence Wednesday. He's caught four or more passes in six of the past seven games, averaging 4.6 receptions for 44.9 yards on 6.0 targets since taking over as the Chargers' primary pass-catching TE. Dissly already has career-high totals for catches (41) and receiving yards (399) but has scored just one touchdown in 11 games.
Dissly (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday. After he was deemed a non-participant Wednesday, Dissly's limited listing one day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the tight end is able to work fully to close the week, and in turn if he heads into the weekend with a Week 13 injury designation.
