Chris Blair: Everything you need to know

The Falcons signed Blair to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports. Blair spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign as a member of the practice squad with Atlanta, appearing in three contests in December. The wide receiver played 12 snaps on offense in those games, failing to record any stats on those snaps. Blair will now get an opportunity to train with the Falcons during the offseason, and he'll look to impress in order to attempt to get a shot with the active roster in 2026.

Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Blair was elevated to the active roster and played in Monday's 27-24 win against the Rams. However, he was limited to just six snaps on special teams (and logged one tackle on kick coverage) despite Casey Washington and Malik Heath both being healthy inactives for the game. It was the third and final time that Blair was eligible to be elevated from the practice squad, so he would have to be signed to Atlanta's active roster in order to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against New Orleans.

The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. It's the third and final time that the Falcons are allowed to elevate Blair from the practice squad this season. He would have to be signed to the active roster in order to be eligible to play in Atlanta's regular-season finale against New Orleans on Sunday. Blair played in Weeks 15 and 16 but did not record a target.
