Fifth-round pick Will Dissly being placed on season-ending injured reserve hurts. A strong early favorite for Seattle Seahawks Rookie of the Year, the tight-end’s innocuous looking patellar tendon injury on that cursed Arizona Cardinals turf is a massive blow. If Dissly had to miss a season through injury, such an ailment would surely come from blocking two offensive linemen into a linebacker. His unfortunate landing? Well that really sucks.
But in the harsh NFL world the season continues; Seattle cannot afford to be paused in sombre reflection. Instead the Seahawks are left looking for their ‘next man up.
