Coach Pete Carroll said Dissly (kneecap) has resumed running, Andy Patton of USA Today reports. "He's making great progress," Carroll said last week, regarding Dissly. "Really everybody is excited that he's going to be OK by the time we open up. At camp, it will be a really interesting time to see how far he's come. He's running, he's working. He looks good."
This isn't the first time this offseason that Carroll has had encouraging things to say about Dissly's recovery from a patellar injury. Tentatively expected back for training camp, Dissly's perceived spot atop Seattle's depth chart was strengthened this past weekend after the team decided against selecting a tight end in one of the strongest classes at the position in recent memory. However, the team recently acquired Jacob Hollister from the Patriots, and Dissly will need to recover in full to also hold off Nick Vannett and Ed Dickson for snaps this season.
