Chargers' Will Dissly: Sits out practice Tuesday
Will Dissly (shoulder) did not participate in practice Tuesday.Dissly was also tagged as a DNP on Monday, though that was a walk-through session. The tight end hurt his shoulder in 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 be in line for another start, though Los Angeles could also get Hayden Hurt (hip) back from IR this week. Hurst was designated to return Monday and logged a full practice Tuesday.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Will 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.

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.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Likely out multiple weeks
Will 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 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.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Doesn't show up in box score
Will Dissly did not catch his lone target in the 17-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.The Los Angeles 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 nonfactor. 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.
