The Seahawks placed Dissly (Achilles) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Reed underwent surgery to repair his torn Achilles earlier this week. The procedure went well, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, which gives hope that the emerging tight end could recover a few months ahead of the typical timeframe for such an injury. Additionally, Dissly's placement on injured reserve allows the Seahawks room for Jarran Reed on the 53-man roster.

Kittle (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Kittle played through the same injury last week, catching eight passes for 103 yards in a 20-7 win over the Rams. He'll now face a Washington defense that's given up the 10th-most receiving yards (337) to tight ends.

Tonyan (hip) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Tonyan was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he finished the week with two consecutive absences. The 25-year-old tight end appears on track to miss a second straight game, in which case Mercedes Lewis and Evan Baylis would serve as the top backups to Jimmy Graham.

Waller (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers after practicing fully Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Waller was added to the Raiders' Week 7 injury report after being limited at practice Thursday, but he'll be a go Sunday, which is good news for the team's passing attack, given that top wideout Tyrell Williams (foot) will remained sidelined this weekend. Five games into his 2019 season, Waller has racked up 37 catches (on 42 targets) for 359 yards, numbers that make him a startable fantasy tight end and also recently earned him a multi-year contract extension with the Raiders, worth about $9 million per season, according to Gutierrez.

Graham (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Graham returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and now appears fine to face the Raiders. He could be in for a busy afternoon, with Davante Adams (toe) ruled out, Geronimo Allison (concussion/chest) listed as doubtful and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (knee/ankle) headed for a game-time decision.

Kroft (ankle) practiced fully Friday for the third straight day and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

After missing the first five games, it looks like the Bills will finally get their starting tight end back, but with so much time missed there's a good chance he'll start out by sharing time as a receiving option with rookies Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney, both of whom have been effective in Kroft's absence.

Oliver (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Oliver began the week as a limited practice participant but progressed to full participation Thursday and Friday to clear the way for his NFL debut this weekend. The rookie third-round pick has been sidelined since early August by the hamstring injury, but could have an immediate role in the offense with Geoff Swaim (concussion/ankle) sidelined and James O'Shaughnessy (knee) out for the year. Oliver is mostly just a speculative stash in fantasy until he shows what he can do on the field.

Swaim (concussion/ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

Swaim sustained the concussion and ankle injury during last Sunday's loss to the Saints and was unable to practice this week. Rookie Josh Oliver (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation and is primed to make his NFL debut against the Bengals. Seth DeValve should also see a decent share of offensive snaps this week.

Dissly's surgery to repair a torn Achilles went well, with coach Pete Carroll describing the procedure as "minimally invasive", ESPN.com's Brady Henderson reports.

Carroll added that Dissly should be able to return a couple months ahead of the typical timeline for an Achilles tear. The tight end will miss the rest of the 2019 campaign, hoping to make it back for Week 1 next year.

Engram (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Engram missed just one game with an MCL sprain, returning to practice as a full participant throughout the week. He'll face a Cardinals defense that's given up a league-high 599 yards and seven touchdowns to tight ends.
