Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Ross Dwelley

Sunday, October 5, 3:28 PM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Washington Commanders. He had been listed as questionable and seemed to be trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Friday, but in the end, the Chargers decided to make him inactive. Oronde Gadsden will operate as Los Angeles' primary tight end while Tyler Conklin fills a depth role.

The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a one-year contract with former Atlanta Falcons tight end Ross Dwelley. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news, but did not disclose the monetary details. The 30-year-old spent his first seven campaigns in the league with San Francisco and will return after a one-year stint with the Falcons. Dwelley appeared in all 17 games last season, but he played only 105 snaps (9.19%) -- snagging his only target for a gain of five yards. He did most of his damage -- snap-wise -- on special teams, but was still only on the field roughly a third of the time (37.22% of snaps). It's possible the 49ers brought him on due to his familiarity with their system, but he doesn't project to make an impact in the receiving column. He'll serve as a depth piece for the organization.
