The Seahawks signed Blair (undisclosed) on Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Blair entered the league as a 2019 second-round pick by Seattle, but the Seahawks cut him in 2022 after he was available for a total of only eight games during the previous two seasons combined. After missing the entire season last year, Blair will now get a second chance with his former squad.

The Panthers cut Blair from their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Carolina had used all of their three allowed standard elevations for Blair and opted to let him go rather than signing him to the active roster. The 25-year-old safety played almost exclusively on special teams for the Panthers, and he'll now have to look for more snaps elsewhere.

Blair has been waived by the Seahawks, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Blair is finally healthy after battling injuries the last few seasons. He began training camp in a competition for a nickel role before moving back to safety. However, he was ultimately unable to seal a spot on the 53-man roster.

Blair suffered a "significant" knee injury during Monday's game against the Saints, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. There aren't many details on Blair's injury just yet, but it doesn't sound as though he'll return to action in the near future. Ugo Amadi figures to see more reps at free safety in Blair's absence.

Blair is expected to be the Seahawks' starting nickel cornerback in the season opener against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. After going down with a torn ACL in Week 2 last year, Blair made a full recovery and beat out Ugo Amadi for the starting job during training camp. A 2019 second-round pick, Blair is sturdy in coverage and can line up all over the field. During his rookie season, he logged just 238 defensive snaps but produced 32 tackles (24 solo).
