Falcons' Chris Blair: Elevated to active roster
Rotowire
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.

Falcons' Chris Blair: Leads team in receiving
Rotowire
Blair caught four of five targets for 91 yards in Saturday's 13-12 preseason loss to Baltimore.
Blair had more than three-fourths of Atlanta's receiving yards in the first half and then added a 27-yard catch in the third quarter before calling it a day. He's a 2021 UDFA with one regular-season NFL appearance to his name, but he flashed some downfield chops this past spring with the UFL's DC Defenders while generating a 25-584-3 across 10 regular-season games. Blair's total of 136 yards through two preseason games gives him a decent case for a backup job on a team with shaky WR depth behind starters Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
