With both Dissly and Hayden Hurst (groin) missing practice, the Chargers are thin at the tight end position. Dissly stepped up with Hurst missing Week 7, and caught eight passes for 81 yards as Justin Herbert's leading target. If both he and Hurst continue to miss practice time, it will be Eric Tomlinson or Stone Smartt stepping up for Week 8 against the Saints.

Hurst has been out since exiting the Chargers' Week 6 game against the Broncos with a groin injury. Will Dissly stepped up for him in Week 7, but Dissly also missed practice due to a shoulder injury. Unless either tight end can squeeze in practice time, Eric Tomlinson or Stone Smartt will be next man up for the Chargers at tight end in Week 8.
