The Falcons signed Blair off their practice squad Saturday. Blair played six special teams snaps for Atlanta back in Week 1 but has played zero downs since. He was out of elevations, so the Falcons needed to sign him to the 53-man roster if they were going to have him for Week 16. Blair could get some playing time if KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) needs to miss Sunday's game.

The Falcons signed Blair off their practice squad Saturday. Blair played six special teams snaps for Atlanta back in Week 1 but has played zero downs since. He was out of elevations, so the Falcons needed to sign him to the 53-man roster if they were going to have him for Week 16. Blair could get some playing time if KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) needs to miss Sunday's game.
Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. For the second time this season, Blair was elevated from the practice squad only to not play a single snap. He's been elevated for three games this season, which is the maximum amount a team is allowed to do. Atlanta would have to sign Blair to the active roster in order to have him available on game day.
The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Blair will provide the Falcons with depth at wide receiver due to rookie sixth-rounder Casey Washington (concussion) being ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Blair was last elevated from the practice squad for Week 10 against the Saints, though he didn't end up playing.
Blair reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday. Blair was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to the Saints but ended up not playing. He was likely activated to provide insurance at receiver in case Drake London was limited due to a hip injury, however London ended up being fully healthy.
Blair was elevated from the Falcons' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. It's the second time Blair has been elevated to the active roster this season. He played in Week 1 against the Steelers, during which he logged six snaps on special teams and did not record a stat. Blair will likely reprise that role Sunday against the Saints and is unlikely to see snaps on offense.
Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Blair was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers, failing to produce any stats while playing six snaps with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially add him to the 53-man roster.
Blair was elevated to the active roster Saturday for the Falcons' regular-season opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. Blair played in all three exhibition games for the Falcons, and he finished fourth in the league with 154 yards on eight catches during the preseason. He appeared in one game for Atlanta in 2023, playing 19 snaps (nine on offense, 10 on special teams) without registering a catch in Week 12 against New Orleans.
Blair signed with the Falcons' practice squad on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. Blair appeared in one game with Atlanta last season after joining the team in September, spending most of the time afterward on their practice squad. He'll begin 2024 in that same role and will work to get a chance to be active on gameday this season.
The Falcons waived Blair on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. Blair wasn't able to secure a spot on Atalanta's final roster despite a strong showing in the preseason. The 26-year-old will now look for another opportunity elsewhere.
