Sticking around Atlanta The Falcons signed Blair to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Impact 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.

Reverts to practice squad Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact 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 special teams) 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.
DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Elevated for Week 17 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.
Impact 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.

Back to practice squad Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Blair played nine of 77 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Cardinals but wasn't targeted in the passing game, as he operated as Atlanta's WR4 behind Darnell Mooney, Drake London and David Sills. Blair doesn't have a catch across two appearances this season.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Elevated for Week 16 The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad Saturday in order to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney & Terrin Waack report.
Impact Blair will operate as a depth wide receiver while also contributing on special teams versus Arizona. He handled three snaps on offense and five snaps on special teams versus the Buccaneers in Week 15. He'll revert to the practice squad after Sunday's contest.
DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Reverts to practice squad Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad ahead of Thursday night's showdown with the Buccaneers. The wide receiver and special teamer logged three offensive snaps and five special teams snaps in the win over the division rival.
DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Set for 2025 debut Blair is active for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Blair has spent the last few seasons with Atlanta, primarily working on the practice squad. That's been the case again this season, as this is his first elevation and will be his first game action of 2025, assuming he earns snaps in Thursday's contest.
DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Elevated for TNF The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the team's official reports.
Impact This will be Blair's first elevation of the season, an opportunity the wide receiver has likely waited for since signing to the practice squad Aug. 27. The Falcons now have a whopping 10 wide receivers on their roster for Thursday's game, meaning Blair was likely elevated to serve in a special teams capacity. The 28-year-old logged 20 total special teams snaps for the Falcons through four games last season, and will likely have similar volume Thursday night.

Staying in ATL on practice squad The Falcons signed Blair to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Impact Blair had an impressive training camp and finished the preseason with 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 197 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He wasn't able to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster, but he will stick around on the practice squad and could be elevated if Atlanta needs depth at wide receiver on game day. Blair has appeared in five regular-season games since joining the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted rookie.
AUGUST 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Fails to make Falcons' 53-man squad The Falcons waived Blair on Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Impact Blair spent most of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad before being signed to the active roster in December, and he entered training camp competing for a depth spot at wide receiver. He ended up leading all receivers in receiving yards (197) and touchdowns (two) on 12 catches (18 targets). Blair won't be on the Falcons' initial 53-man roster despite a strong preseason, but he should garner interest on the waiver wire from a team looking to bolster its depth at wide receiver. Blair would be a candidate to return to the Falcons' practice squad if he were to clear waivers.
AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Catches another TD Blair caught three of five passes for 78 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.
Impact Through two preseason games, Blair has been a standout, securing six of nine targets for 132 yards and two scores. Despite the strong performances, Blair, along with Dylan Drummond and David Sills, isn't projected to make the initial 53-man roster, per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site. However, if that's the case, they'd all be candidates to join Atlanta's practice squad.
