Will Dissly - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Two catches vs. Houston Dissly caught both of his targets for 19 yards during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

Impact Dissly wasn't too far behind fellow tight end Oronde Gadsden (3-32-1 on six targets) despite the former playing just seven of 63 offensive snaps (11.1 percent) during Saturday's loss, which clinched the AFC West division for the Broncos. Dissly's role against Denver in Week 18 could be expanded if the Chargers opt to sit their starters.

Herbert Delivers a Strike to Dissly for 15 yards Quarterback Justin Herbert finds tight end Will Dissly off of play action for a 15-yard gain.

Upgrades to full participation Dissly (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Dissly was a limited participant in Wednesday's session with a shoulder injury he likely sustained in the overtime win over the Eagles on Monday night. The tight end's upgrade to full participation and the corresponding clearing of an injury designation mean he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Consecutive games from the 2018 fourth-rounder will all but eliminate Tyler Conklin's chances of offensive snaps after the No. 3 tight end was a healthy scratch in Dissly's return Monday night.

Working through shoulder issue Dissly (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Dissly likely picked up the injury during Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles, when he played 40 snaps (27 on offense, 13 on special teams) and caught a one-yard pass on his only target from Justin Herbert (left hand). Dissly will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's AFC West tilt against the Chiefs.

Records short reception in return Dissly notched a one-yard reception on his lone target while playing 27 of the Chargers' 74 snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.

Impact Dissly didn't suit up in any of the Chargers' previous five games -- once due to an illness, the other four times in coach's decisions -- but he returned to the mix Monday and served as the top backup option to starting tight end Oronde Gadsden. Los Angeles opened up the small role for Dissly by placing Tucker Fisk (ankle) on injured reserve and by making Tyler Conklin a healthy inactive for the Week 14 contest.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch Week 10 Dissly (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Dissly will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, with two of his absences as a result of a healthy scratch. The Chargers will go with three active tight ends for Sunday night's game in Oronde Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin.

Avoids injury report Dissly (illness) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Dissly was a healthy scratch for Week 8 and then sat out Week 9 due to an illness, but he's now fully recovered. There's no guarantee that Dissly will be active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, however, even at full health. Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin have operated as Los Angeles' top reserve tight ends following the emergence of Oronde Gadsden.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Tennessee Dissly (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Dissly ended Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices while working through an illness. He has not been cleared to play Sunday, so the Chargers will have three tight ends on the active roster in Oronde Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin. Dissly's next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 9.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 9 Dissly (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact With Oronde Gadsden taking over tight-end duties for the Chargers in recent weeks, Dissly has fallen out of favor in Los Angeles, as he was a healthy inactive in Week 8 against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Dissly (illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran tight end was cleared to return to practice in a limited capacity after missing Wednesday's session due to an illness. Dissly is trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Titans, though he was a healthy scratch for Week 8 as the Chargers went with three active tight ends in Oronde Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin.

Under the weather Dissly did not practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Impact Dissly will have two more opportunities to recover enough to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. He was a healthy scratch for Week 8 against the Vikings, so there's no guarantee that he would be active for Week 9 even if he recovered enough to avoid an injury designation. Dissly appears to have been phased out of the Chargers' offensive gameplan due to the emergence of rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden while Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin provide depth at tight end.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch Week 8 Dissly (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Dissly played just three offensive snaps during the Chargers' Week 7 loss to the Vikings. His role in the offense has waned with the emergence of rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden, and Dissly will observe Thursday's game in street clothes. With Dissly inactive, the Chargers will roll with three tight ends on the active roster in Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin for Week 8.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held catchless against Colts Dissly failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.

Impact Dissly was unable to make an impact in Sunday's high scoring affair against the Colts, as the veteran tight end played just three of the Chargers' 76 offensive snaps. The 29-year-old has taken a clear backseat to fellow tight end Oronde Gadsden, who finished the game with seven catches for a team-leading 164 yards and a touchdown. Dissly should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited usage in the Chargers' passing attack. Next up for Los Angeles is a Week 8 matchup against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in return Dissly finished Sunday's 29-27 win over the Dolphins with two catches on as many targets for 18 yards.

Impact Dissly was cleared to return Sunday from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. He ended up playing 26 snaps on offense, which was behind rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden (48) and Tucker Fisk (27), but ahead of veteran Tyler Conklin (three). Given the disparity in snap count between Dissly and Gadsden, it appears that the latter has seemingly taken over as the Chargers' No. 1 option at tight end. Up next for Dissly and the Chargers is a Week 7 home clash against a Colts team whose defense yielded eight catches for 72 yards and a touchdown to tight end Trey McBride in a Week 6 win over the Cardinals.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared from injury report Dissly (knee) isn't listed on the Chargers' Week 6 injury report.

Impact Dissly is thus set to return for Sunday's game at Miami, after missing each of the past three contests. Rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden took advantage initially, but he saw just one target in the Week 5 loss to Washington despite handling season-high 61 percent route share. That number likely will drop with Dissly back in the lineup, although it's also possible Dissly mostly takes the snaps that went to Tyler Conkin and Tucker Fisk in recent weeks. Either way, it'll be some form of rotation, with long odds for any one TE to draw more than a handful of targets.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Sunday Dissly (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Commanders.

Impact Dissly went into the weekend with a questionable tag after partaking in every practice of Week 5 prep, including as a full participant Friday. Nevertheless, the veteran will miss a third consecutive game, leaving rookie Oronde Gadsden and veteran Tyler Conklin as Justin Herbert's two top options at tight end against Washington.

OCTOBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Draws questionable tag for Week 5 Dissly (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Dissly will carry a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday while managing the knee issue. Before missing the Chargers' last two games, Dissly had served as the team's top tight end through the first two weeks of the season, but he drew just two targets between those contests.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to limited practice Dissly (knee) was limitedat practice Wednesday.

Impact Dissly, who has missed the Chargers' last two games and had sat out all six of the team's practices since the start of Week 3 prep, is thus moving in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. The tight end will presumably need to practice fully by Friday, however, in order to avoid a Week 5 injury designation.

OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chargers rookie Oronde Gadsden guaranteed big role with Will Dissly out in Week 4 Veteran tight end Will Dissly is out with a knee injury this weekend, which means the Los Angeles Chargers will be leaning heavily on rookie...

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • SI.COM

Ruled out for Week 4 Dissly (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Giants.

Impact Dissly hasn't been able to practice since the start of Week 3 prep due to a knee injury and now will miss a second consecutive contest as a result. His absence will allow the trio of Oronde Gadsden, Tyler Conklin and Tucker Fisk to handle TE duties for the Chargers this weekend, but Gadsden, a rookie fifth-round pick, is the one to note for fantasy purposes after hauling in five of seven targets for 46 yards during a Week 3 win against the Broncos.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another DNP on Thursday Dissly (knee) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice.

Impact After missing Week 3, Dissly appears to be trending toward another missed contest this Sunday against the Giants. With Dissly out last week, the Chargers used Tucker Fisk in a blocking role at tight end, and rookie Oronde Gadsden and Tyler Conklin shared pass-catching duties in a three-man weave at the position. Gadsden popped up for a 5-46-0 receiving line on seven targets but played just over 25 percent of the snaps.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted at practice Dissly (knee) is not present at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dissly couldn't gain clearance to suit up Week 3, and he hasn't practiced in any capacity since emerging from the Chargers' win over the Raiders on Monday night in Week 2 with a knee injury. While Dissly was sidelined Week 3, rookie fifth-round pick Oronde Gadsden made his debut and impressed with five catches for 46 yards on seven targets. If Dissly is again unable to suit up Sunday versus the Giants, Gadsden will continue to benefit from increased opportunities.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 3 Dissly (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact In the wake of Monday's 20-9 win at Las Vegas, Dissly wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week due to a knee injury. Now that his status is confirmed for Week 3, Los Angeles likely will lean on Tyler Conklin at tight end, with rookie fifth-round pick Oronde Gadsden and Tucker Fisk both candidates to make their seasson debuts Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice again Dissly (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Dissly has now missed back-to-back practices due to a knee injury and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. If Dissly isn't able to suit up Week 3, Tyler Conklin will be positioned to handle a larger workload at tight end.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with knee injury Dissly (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact He played 40 percent of snaps on offense in Monday's 20-9 win over the Raiders ,catching his lone target for a gain of seven yards. Tyler Conklin would be in line for more snaps and routes if Dissly were to miss Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.
